The coordination number of a central metal atom in a complex is determined by

View answer and explanation

Correct option: D

The number of ligands around a metal ion bonded by sigma bonds

Option D (The number of ligands around a metal ion bonded by sigma bonds) is correct because the coordination number is determined by the number of sigma bonds formed between the ligands and the central metal atom.
