NEET Chemistry Coordination Number Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): In coordination compounds, pi bonds formed between the ligand and the central atom/ion are not counted towards the coordination number.
Reason (R): Coordination number is determined only by the number of sigma bonds formed by the ligands with the central atom/ion.
Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
