Chapter 22, Problem 22.32QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of the given compound ${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}\left[\text{CaEDTA}\right]$ is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Coordination compounds consist of a coordination sphere in which a central metal ion is bonded to the ligands through coordinate bond. Outside the coordination sphere, counter ions are present to maintain the electroneutrality of the complex ion.

To determine: The structure of ${\text{Na}}_{\text{2}}\left[\text{CaEDTA}\right]$.
