Re: coordination number
I think the coordination number is based on the number of ligands bound to the transition metal. I'm guessing lone pairs may play a role in determining how many ligands can bind to the transition metal.

Re: coordination number
Coordination numbers are how many bonds (of ligands) attached to the central atom, I don't believe lone pairs count

Re: coordination number
The coordination number is based off of the number of points at which ligands are attached to the central metal atom of the complex.

Re: coordination number
Coordination number is basically the number of bonds the central atom has with ligands.

Re: coordination number
Coordination number corresponds to the number of electron density regions that are connected to the transition metal. There tends to be a max of 6.

Re: coordination number
Coordination number just refers to the total number of bound ligands in the coordination sphere.
