Question

The number of ligands present in $N{H}_4^{+}$ is

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is B

4

If we see $N{H}_4^{+}$

We will take nitrogen as central atom (because it is least in number)

Now, 4 hydrogen's are attached to Nitrogen.

Therefore,

Number of Ligands = 4

[Cationic/Anionic charge does not affect number of Ligands]
