As we learnt in 

Coordination Sphere -

The central atom/ion and the ligands attached to metal are enclosed in square bracket and this collectively termed as coordination sphere

- wherein

eg:

K_{4}\left [ Fe\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ]

 K^{+} \rightarrow Counter ion

\left [ Fe\left ( CN \right )_{6} \right ]^{4-} \rightarrow  Coordination sphere

 

 

 

\left [ C{o} \left ( NH_{3}) \right _{6}\right ]Cl_{3}, \left [ C{o} \left ( NH_{3}) \right _{5}Cl\right ]Cl_{2}, \left [ C{o} \left ( NH_{3}) \right _{4}Cl_{2}\right ]Cl

The ligands in the coordination sphere will not ionize. stoichiometries of A_{g}Cl formed will be :

3A{g}Cl, 2A{g}Cl and 1A{g}Cl


Option 1)

3AgCl, 1 AgCl, 2 AgCl

Incorrect

Option 2)

3AgCl, 2 AgCl, 1 AgCl

Correct

Option 3)

2 AgCl, 3 AgCl, 1 AgCl

Incorrect

Option 4)

1 AgCl, 3 AgCl, 2 AgCl

Incorrect
