Given below are two statements.
Statement I: When dissolved in water, a coordination complex behaves as a single species, and its central ion with attached ligands does not dissociate further.
Statement II: Complex compounds may dissociate to give simple ions plus complex ions, but the complex ion remains intact.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Text Solution

In aqueous solution, the complex ion acts as a single entity; only counter-ions ionize (e.g., 
.
The complex ion itself generally does not dissociate into metal + ligands.
