According to Werner's theory the geometry of the complex is determined by

Options

A. only from the primary valence in space
B. number and position of the primary valences in space
C. number and position of the secondary valences in space
D. only from the position of secondary valence in space

Answer

C

Explanation

Werner's theory was used to describe the structure and formation of complex compounds or coordination compounds. According to this theory the primary valency gives the oxidation number and the secondary valency gives the coordination number. Also the geometry of the complex is determined by number and position of secondary valences in space as the ligard of secondary valences in space as the ligand satisgying secondary valences are always directed towards fixed position is space.
