Which statement about the co-ordination number of a cation is true?

(1)  Metal ions exhibit only a single characteristic co-ordination number

(2)  The co-ordination number is equal to the number of ligands bonded to the metal atom

(3)  The co-ordination number is determined solely by the number of empty d-orbitals in the atom

(4)  Co-ordination number is equal to the number of coordinate bonds between the metal cation and ligands
