What is the Primary and Secondary Valence of $P t C l_{2} .2 N H_{3}$ ?

Open in App

Solution

Primary valency is the number of ions required to satisfy the charge on the metal ion.
Secondary valency is the number of ions of molecules that are coordinated to the metal ion.
Coordination number of $P t$ in $P t C l_{2} .2 N H_{3}$ is $4$ , which are satisfied by $2 C l$ and $2 N H_{3}$ . Hence, it does not have any primary valency and has $4$ secondary valency.
