Correct answer: B
-
Identify the ligands in the complex
The complex ion is:
Ligands present:
- oxalato ligands,
- aqua ligands,
-
Determine denticity of each ligand
- Oxalato is a bidentate ligand. So, each oxalato ligand contributes donor atoms.
- Water is a monodentate ligand. So, each water molecule contributes donor atom.
-
Calculate total coordination number
From oxalato ligands:
From water ligands:
Therefore, total coordination number of Th is:
-
Match with the options
The correct option is:
So, Option B is correct.
