Question Answer
Define a complex ion A metal ion surrounded by coordinately bonded ligands
Define a ligand A species containing a lone pair that can donate to form a coordinate bond with a metal ion
Define a coordinate bond When both electrons in a bond come from one atom
Define coordination number The number of coordinate bonds in a complex ion (not the number of ligands)
Define a bidentate ligand A 'large' ligand which contains two lone pairs on different atoms that can both donate to form coordinate bonds
Define a ligand exchange reaction When ligands are substituted in reaction (can be partial)
