The maximum possible denticities of a ligand given below towards a common transition and inner - transition metal ion, respectively, are:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
General coordination number of 
in transition element is 6 and in inner transition element is 8-12. because inner transition metal ions can make available more number of vacant orbitals of nearly same energy than transition metal ions. The high effective nuclear charge of inner-transition metal ions make them form complex with high coordination number.
