Solution:
Effective atomic number(EAN) is the number that represents the total number of electrons surrounding the nucleus of a metal atom in a metal complex. It is composed of the metal atom’s electrons and the bonding electrons from the surrounding electron-donating atoms and molecules.
Thus, electron count (EAN)=N+a+2b-c
Here the general compound is given by:
\left [ MX_{a}L_{b} \right ]^{c}
a – number of X type Ligands
b – number of L type Ligands
c – Charge
