YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOk, so we understand how ligands bond to metals to form transition metal complexes, but how many ligands will fit? Well, remember the octet rule from general chemistry? There is a similar concept that we can apply here, which is called the 18 electron rule. 18 is bigger than 8 because transition metals have access to d orbitals. Let's see how this rule works now!
