Important Questions on Stability of Coordination Compounds
In the complexes more stability is shown by

The overall complex dissociation equilibrium constant for ion is . The overall stability constant of the complex is

then the formation constant of is

The coordination complex that absorbs at higher wavelength is

The most stable complex among the following is

Equivalent conductance of aqueous solution of a weak monobasic acid is and that at infinite dilution is equv. Dissociation constant of weak acid is :-

Which of the following is correct order of stability?

On the basis of stability of complex ion in the solution, complexes may be of two types, perfect and imperfect complexes. The stability depends upon the extent of dissociation which in turn depends upon the strength of metal-ligand bond. The stability of complex also depends upon charge on central metal atom, basic nature of ligand, chelation, and nature of metal ion and ligand according to principle.
