Q. Complex compounds are molecular compounds which retain their identities even when dissolved in water. They do not give all the simple ions in solution but instead furnish complex ions. The complex compounds are often called coordination compounds because certain groups called ligands are attached to the central metal ion by coordinate or dative bonds. Coordination compounds exhibit isomerism, both structural and stereoisomerism.

Generally, a group of atoms can function as a ligand if

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

Ligand must have capacity to donate lone pair of electrons to form coordinate bond
