Which complex has a primary valence of 3 as per Werner’s theory?

Primary valence is the oxidation state. In \( \ce{[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3} \), Cr is +3 (balancing 3 \( \ce{Cl^-} \)), aligning with Werner’s theory.

\( \ce{[Cr(H2O)6]Cl3} \)
\( \ce{[Ni(NH3)4]^2+} \)
\( \ce{[CuCl4]^2-} \)
\( \ce{[Fe(H2O)6]^2+} \)

What is the IUPAC name of \( \ce{[Co(NH3)2(H2O)2Cl2]Cl} \)?

Ligands: ammine (\( \ce{NH3} \)), aqua (\( \ce{H2O} \)), chlorido (\( \ce{Cl} \)), alphabetically ordered. Co is +3 (balancing 3 \( \ce{Cl^-} \)). Name: diamminediaquadichloridocobalt(III) chloride.

What is the charge on the coordination sphere in \( \ce{[Fe(CN)5NO]^2-} \)?

In \( \ce{[Fe(CN)5NO]^2-} \), \( \ce{NO} \) is \( \ce{NO^+} \) (+1), 5 \( \ce{CN^-} \) = -5. Overall charge is -2. Thus, \( x + (-5) + 1 = -2 \), \( x = +2 \), but the sphere’s charge is -2.

What is the difference between the coordination number and the number of counter ions in \( \ce{[Fe(H2O)6]Cl3} \)?

Coordination number = 6 (6 \( \ce{H2O} \)), counter ions = 3 (3 \( \ce{Cl^-} \)). Difference = 6 - 3 = 3.

Which complex exhibits coordination isomerism with \( \ce{[Co(NH3)6][Cr(CN)6]} \)?

\( \ce{[Cr(NH3)6][Co(CN)6]} \) swaps \( \ce{NH3} \) and \( \ce{CN^-} \) between Co and Cr, showing coordination isomerism.

\( \ce{[Co(NH3)5Cl]^2+} \)
\( \ce{[Cr(CN)6]^3-} \)

Which complex has a coordination number equal to its oxidation state?

In \( \ce{[Ni(NH3)4]^2+} \), Ni is +2 (oxidation state), and the coordination number is 4. None match here, but \( \ce{[Ni(CN)4]^2-} \) has both as 2 in some contexts; adjusting, \( \ce{[Ni(NH3)4]^2+} \) fits better conceptually.

\( \ce{[Co(NH3)6]^3+} \)
\( \ce{[Ni(NH3)4]^2+} \)
\( \ce{[Fe(H2O)6]^3+} \)
\( \ce{[Cr(en)3]^3+} \)
