When crystals of CuSO_(4) are dissolved in water, there is hardly any evidence for the presence of Cu^(2+) ions or ammonia molecules. A new ion [Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+) is furnished in which ammonia molecules are directly linked with the metal ion . Similarly the aqueous solution of Fe(CN)_(2).4KCN does not give tests of Fe^(2+) and CN^(-) ions but gives test of a new ion, [Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-) also called complex ions. Which one of the following statements is correct ?
