Q. The total number of electrons donated by ligands to platinum ion in $\left[ Pt ( en )_{2} Cl _{2}\right]$ is

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

In $\left[ Pt ( en )_{2} Cl _{2}\right]$, there are $2$ monodentate and $2$ bidentate ligands.
Hence, electrons donated by ligands $=2 \times 2+2 \times 4$
$=4+8$
$=12$
