• Coordinate compounds are molecules or ions in which a central atom or ion is bonded to ligands through coordinate bonds.
• The coordination number of a central atom represents the number of ligands attached to it.
• Central atom: The atom or ion that forms the coordination complex.
• Ligands: The atoms, ions, or molecules that donate electron pairs to the central atom.
• Coordinate bond: A type of covalent bond in which both of the shared electrons are donated by one atom.

12. Hybridization in Coordinate Compounds

• Hybridization refers to the mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals that allow better overlap for bonding.
• Different types of hybridization occur in coordination compounds based on the coordination number and shape of the complex.
