What is the function of the counter ion in a complex?

The counter ion in a complex helps balance the charge of the complex by providing an opposite charge to the central metal ion or ligands. It contributes to the overall stability of the complex by ensuring that the complex remains electrically neutral. The counter ion also affects the solubility and reactivity of the complex in solution.

Is CH4 a complex ion?

No, CH4 (methane) is not a complex ion. A complex ion is a charged species formed from a central metal ion bonded to one or more surrounding ligands. methane is a simple covalent molecule composed of one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms.

How are the salts named?

Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal are named this way: [metal] [nonmetal root]-ide Examples: sodium + chlorine = sodium chloride potassium + iodine = potassium iodide Salts made from a metal or other complex cation and a nonmetal or other complex anion are named based on the cation and anion names: ------------------------------- ammonium ion + hydroxide ion = ammonium hydroxide sodium ion + hypochlorite ion = sodium hypochlorite calcium ion + chloride ion = calcium chloride

Difference between Double salt and Complex salts?

Even though, both double and complex salts contain two metal ions and may be large salts with have many anions attached to them. They differ in one basic way, when dissolved double salts break down to give it constituent ions, whereas complex salts does not break down in the same manner. Rather when dissolved complex salts give the cation and a complex ion. Also, when double salts are tested for presence of their constituent ions, for example KClMgCl.6H2O when tested for presence of K, will give a positive result, whereas a complex ion would not.


A molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion is called?

A molecule or an ion that is bonded to the central atom of a complex ion is called a ligand. Ligands can donate pairs of electrons to the central metal atom or ion, forming coordinate covalent bonds.


What is mening of Ligand?

A ligand is a molecule or ion that binds to a central atom in a coordination complex or to a metal ion in a complex, forming a coordination complex. In biological systems, ligands are often signaling molecules that bind to receptors to initiate a biological response.
