Coordination compounds are those that have a metal ion (mostly a transition metal ion) bonded to anions or neutral molecules by sharing of electrons. In this chapter, we will explore what these compounds are, some important terminologies, and most importantly understand the bonding in these compounds.

Using VB theory, let's see how to find out the hybridisation and geometry of different coordination complexes and identify the type of the complex, whether it is an inner orbital or an outer orbital complex. Here's a worked example (WE) on how to apply VB theory in coordination compounds! Courses on Khan Academy are always 100% free.
