Question

1) What is a coordination complex? How are they useful?

2) What is the balanced equation of rxn? How can you analyze all components of complex?

Answer 1

1) coordination complex is the product of lewis acid-base reaction in which neutral molecules or anions which are usually callled as ligands which are bond to a central metal atom or ion by coordinate covalent bonds.

Uses of coordnation complexes as catalysts in organic synthesis organo metallic chemistry.

they are used in photography.

Example:

Cis Platin is a coordination compound used for cancer treatment in chemotherapy.

wide range of applications are there for coordination complexes.

2) balanced equation itself sujjest that equation should be balanced equally, suppose if 6 H₂O molecules are reacting with metal in product also the 6 H₂O should be there. thats what we call balancing.
