Cyanide, a coordination compound, is used in the extraction of gold and silver. Part 24 in the series of 36 delves into the world of coordination compounds. Classes learn, through readings, discussions, and answering questions, how to name complex compounds such as Na[Ag(CN)2], and the nature of their bonding. From Werner's theory to the application of these compounds in medicine, the lesson is complex.
