Vedclass · Answer

(C) The oxalate ligand $(C_2O_4^{2-})$ is a bidentate ligand,meaning it coordinates with the central metal ion through $2$ donor atoms (oxygen atoms) simultaneously.Since there are $3$ oxalate ligands attached to the central $Fe^{3+}$ ion,the total coordination number is calculated as:$	ext{Coordination Number} = (	ext{Number of ligands}) 	imes (	ext{Denticity of ligand})$$	ext{Coordination Number} = 3 	imes 2 = 6$.

What is the coordination number of the central metal ion in $[Fe(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}$?
