The co-ordination number of a central metal atom in a complex is determined by

Question

The co-ordination number of a central metal atom in a complex is determined by (A) the number of mono dentate ligands around a metal ion bonded by sigma bonds (B) the number of ligands around a metal ion boned by pi-bonds (C) the number of ligands around a metal ion bonded by sigma and pi-bonds both (D) the number of only anionic ligands bonded to the metal ion

Co-ordination number is the maximum covalency shown by a metal or metal ion. It is the maximum number of ligands attached to metal by sigma bonds or co-ordinate bonds.

[A l (H_{2} O)_{6}]^{+ 3} \cdot 3 C l^{-}

it has co-ordination number 6.
