Complex ions and oxidation states

Complex ions and oxidation states

Many aqueous transition metal ions are actually complex ions such as [Cu(H2O)6]2+[\text{Cu}(\text{H}_{2}\text{O})_{6}]^{2+}[Cu(H2​O)6​]2+. A ligand donates a lone pair to the metal ion, so most reactions either change the ligands or change the oxidation state of the metal.
