PtCl4 and NH3 may form five complexes, A(PtCl4. 6NH3), B(PtCl4 .5NH3), C(PtCl4.4NH3), D(PtCl4 3NH3) and E(PtCl4 2NH3). One mole of each A, B, C, D and E reacts with excess of AgNO3 to yield 4, 3, 2 and 1 mole(s) of AgCl respectively, while E gives, no AgCl. The conductance of their solutions is in the order A> B> C> D> E. On the basis of Werner’s theory, write their structure and give the total number of ions given by one complex.
