The correct answer is:
Number and position of the secondary valences in space
Werner’s theory was used to describe the structure and formation of complex compounds or coordination compounds. According to this theory the primary valency gives the oxidation number and the secondary valency gives the coordination number. Also, the geometry of the complex is determined by number and position of secondary valences is space as the ligand satisfying secondary valences are always directed towards fixed position in space.
