The total number of electrons linked with central metal atom or ion in a complex plus
the electrons donated by the ligand is known as effective Atomic Number.
Sidgwick suggested that the central atom or ion will accept electron pairs from ligands
till the EAN of the metal equalize itself with the atomic number of the nearest noble
gas.
