The Coordination number of an atom in a given molecule or a crystal refers to the total number of atoms, ion, or molecules bonded to the atom in question. ‘Ligancy’ is another term used to refer to the coordination number of an atom.
The atoms, ions, or molecules that are bonded to the central atom (or molecule/ion) are called ligands. The ligancy of molecules is calculated in a different manner when compared to calculating the coordination number of a central atom in a crystal.
