Effective Atomic Number

$$EAN = Z - oxidation state + electrons donated by ligands$$

Description: Effective Atomic Number is a standard relation used in coordination-compounds.

Example:

Apply the relation: EAN = Z - oxidation state + electrons donated by ligands

Identify the known values, substitute them in the relation, and solve for the unknown quantity.
Result depends on the substituted values.

Applications:

  • Use this when the quantities in the relation are known and the missing quantity is required.
  • Exam relevance: jee-main, neet

Quick Reference

💡 Worked Examples

Step-by-step solutions using Coordination Compounds formulas

Example 1: Area of Circle

Circle Area Formula
Problem:

Find the area of a circle with radius 7 cm.

Solution:
  1. Given: r = 7 cm
  2. Apply formula: A = πr²
  3. Substitute: A = π × 7²
  4. Calculate: A = π × 49 = 49π cm²
  5. Approximate: A ≈ 49 × 3.14159 ≈ 153.94 cm²
Answer:

Area = 49π cm² ≈ 153.94 cm²

Practice Problems

Check Your Formula Recall

Write each formula once, define every variable, then solve one direct substitution problem before moving to mixed questions.

Apply Coordination Compounds

Pick two formulas from this page and create your own values for the variables. Verify units and signs before calculating.

Derivation Notes

Focus on how the formula is built, not only the final expression. Derivations help with board-exam reasoning and multi-step application questions.

  • Start from the definition or identity used in the chapter.
  • Write assumptions clearly before substituting values.
  • Track units through each step to catch calculation mistakes.
