coordination compound, any of a class of substances with chemical structures in which a central metal atom is surrounded by nonmetal atoms or groups of atoms, called ligands, joined to it by chemical bonds.
How do you write a coordination compound?
Order of naming ions: Simple or complex positive ion always named first followed accompany the negative ion. The name is started with a small letter and the complex part is written as one word, e.g. [Co(NH3)6] Cl3, hexa amminecobalt (III) chloride.
Why are complex compounds called coordination?
This type of bonding is different from a normal covalent bond in which each atom supplies one electron. If the coordination complex carries a net charge, the complex is called a complex ion. Compounds that contain a coordination complex are called coordination compounds.
