Stability constantHardQuestion 740011

Question

A larger stability constant (Kf) for a coordination compound indicates:
  1. A
    Greater stability of the complex
    Correct
  2. B
    Less stable complex
  3. C
    Higher solubility
  4. D
    Lower coordination number

Correct answer

Greater stability of the complex

Explanation

The stability constant (Kf = formation constant) measures how readily the complex forms: M + nL ⇌ [MLn]. A larger Kf means the equilibrium lies far to the right — the complex is more stable.
