3 main factors that affect the whether a complex is labile or inert:

1. Size: Smaller metal ions tend to be more inert as ligands are held mor
tightly.
2. Charge on Metal: The greater the charge on a metal ion in a complex,
the greater the tendency towards the complex being inert
3. Number of d electrons and configuration
