Define instability constant.

Define stepwise stability constant.

Out of and , which complex compound more stable.

Define instability constant of coordination compounds.

What is the relationship between stability and instability constant?

What is instability constant?

Define overall stability constant of a complex.

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.
