I'm wondering why is that not the answer too. But the one i wrote is exactly the answer on the marking scheme

AgNCO is not a complex and not linear.

That's irrelevant. Unless the specific example was taught, there's no reason for an A Level student to not think AgNCO is a linear complex.

It is always relevant to answer the question and not just pick some words from the question, ignoring what isn't liked.

Ar A level students should know that linear complexes have 2 ligands.

I see thanks! So for tetrahedral there's four?

6 in octohedral.
Usually when questioning about complex shapes the ligand will be monodentate, like your example ligand.
Just be aware to watch for polydentate ligands.

Yes. Also 4 in square planar.
6 in octohedral.

Put a square bracket around the entire formula, and the charge after the closing bracket

The table or the stability constant part?
Hint: Double check the coordination number of the iron complex. Is the ethanedioate ligand monodentate or bidentate?

The table. I see it now based on what you told me earlier but i do not understand complex D. I know the ligand is neutral and therefore the charge is +2 but why the ligand have to be 3?

This ligand is bidentate, so forms 2 coordinate bonds per ligand to the iron ion. The coordination number for iron in this complex is 6 (3 ligands providing 2 coordinate bonds each).
The ligand is the ion of the dicarboxylic acid ethandioic acid (also called oxalic acid).

For D the ligand isn't neutral. It has a 2- charge per ion.

Sorry, my mistake.
The ligand in D is also bidentate, eacg ligand molecule makes 2 coordinate bonds with the nickel ion. The bond is from the lone pair on each nitrogen atom.
As there are 2 coordinate bonds per ligand, only 3 ligand molecules are required to satisfy the coordination number of 6.

For D: Coordination number is 6 - 6 lone pairs, therefore it is an octahedral complex.
H2NCH2CH2NH2 is a bidentate ligand, therefore you need 3 of these to fulfill the coordination number 6 as the N atom has 2 lone pairs on each (2x3=6)
