In`[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]Cl_(3)`,the number of covalent bonds is

A

3

B

6

C

9

D

18

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`H-overset(..)underset(H)underset(|)N-H`
One `overset(..)(NH_(3)` ligand contains three covalent bonds.
`:.` No. of covalent bonds in `6 NH_(3)`
=`6xx3 (for NH_(3))`
= 18
`:.` Total no. of covalent bonds in the complex
= 18
[Because all other bonds are either ionic or co-ordinate]
