Please note that the compound in problems 2 and 3 is not actually real. The coordination number for the compound as written is 8, which is not possible. This is because (en) - ethylenediamine is a bidentate ligand. If (en) were monodentate, it would be octahedral as in problem 3. This is not actually correct, but the example can still be useful.
