The central atom/ions in coordination compounds are referred to as:
The central atom/ions in coordination compounds are referred to as:
Updated On: Nov 6, 2024
- Lewis base
- Lewis acid
- Bronsted acid
- Bronsted base
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In coordination chemistry, the central atom or ion acts as a Lewis acid because it can accept electron pairs from ligands (Lewis bases) that coordinate with it. This electron pair acceptance helps form the coordination complex.
