Question

question 4 (5 points)
eight - fold coordination is also known as?
trigonal coordination
tetrahedral coordination
octahedral coordination
cubic coordination
uncoordinated

Explanation:

In crystal - structure and coordination chemistry, eight - fold coordination means a central atom is surrounded by eight ligands. Cubic coordination refers to a situation where the central atom has an eight - fold coordination geometry. Trigonal coordination has 3 ligands, tetrahedral has 4, and octahedral has 6. Uncoordinated means no ligands are attached.

Answer:

D. Cubic coordination
