As we discussed in

Central atom -

In coordination entity, the atom/ion to which a fixed no of ions/groups are bound in a definite geometrical arrangement around it.

- wherein

eg: \left [Co Cl\left ( NH_{3} \right )_{5} \right ]^{2+}\rightarrow Co^{3+}    is called Central metal atom

 

 In [Co(NH_{3})_{6}]Cl_{3}, \:\:\:\:Co^{3+} works as lewis acid and NH_{3} works as lewis base.
