Is the complex formation an exothermic or an endothermic process? Give reasons.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Complex formation is an exothermic process because a strong electrostatic force of attraction exists between the metal cation and the ligand, producing a highly stable complex and releasing energy during this process.
