Number of dative bonds in the complex CoCl₃.5NH₃ is

The term dative bond is used for coordination bonds.

- In CoCl₃.5NH₃, there is a primary valency of 2, i.e., 2 chloride ions can be disassociated.

- The no of secondary valency is 6, i.e., these bonds cannot be ionized.

- These are the coordination bonds in the given coordination complex.

- Hence, there are 6 dative bonds in CoCl₃.5NH₃.
