Description
At the end of this activity, students should be able to: – describe the stability of a complex in terms of formation constant – explain the reaction of aqua ions with ammonia and describe the structure of the resulting ammine complexes – describe metal complexes of chloride ions – explain why the complexes with multidentate ligands (chelating agents) are usually more stable than those with unidentate ligands – explain why the formation of complex ions affects the solubility of ionic compounds.
