The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$Zn ^{2+}, Al ^{3+}$

(i) $zn(OH)_2 +2NaOH \longrightarrow Na[Zn(OH)_4^{2 -} + 2Na^ +$

$\underset{\text{Anhydrous}}{ZnCl_2} + 4NH 3 \longrightarrow \underset{\text{Tetraamine

zinc chloride}}{Zn(NH_3)_4Cl_2}$

$Al ( OH )_{3}+ NaOH \longrightarrow\left[ Al ( OH )_{4}\right]^{-}$
$Al ^{3+}+3 NH _{3} \longrightarrow Al \left( NH _{3}\right)_{3}$

Coordination Compounds

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

Coordination entity:

A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.

Ligands:

A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
