NEET Chemistry Coordination Number MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the properties of coordination compounds is correct?
Coordination compounds can form geometrical isomers, including cis and trans forms.
All coordination compounds dissociate completely into their constituent ions in solution.
Coordination entities always contain a central metal atom bonded to only monodentate ligands.
The formula of a coordination compound is written with the ligands listed first, followed by the central atom.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Coordination compounds can exhibit geometrical isomerism, such as cis and trans forms, as indicated in the NCERT content. Option B is incorrect because some complexes do not dissociate completely in solution. Option C is false as coordination compounds can contain polydentate ligands. Option D is also incorrect because the central atom is listed first, followed by ligands.
