Question
CBSEENCH12007511

Formation of complex is exothermic or endothermic process. Explain why? What is the effect of temperature on stability of complex compound?

Solution

Formation of complex is an exothermic process because there is force of attraction between central metal ion and ligands which breaks and
energy Release and new bond is formed.

Stability of complex decreases with the increase in temperature because formation of complex is exothermic process. On heating, coordinate bond between central metal ion and ligand will break.
