Question -

Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:



Answer -

(i) [Co(H2O)(CN)(en)2]2+                (ii) [CoBr2(en)2]+                  (iii) [PtCl4]2−

(iv) K3[Fe(CN)6]                              (v) [Cr(NH3)3Cl3]


Answer

(i) 

Letthe oxidation number of Co be x.

The charge on the complex is +2.

(ii)

Letthe oxidation number of Pt be x.

The charge on the complex is −2.

x + 4(−1) = −2

x = + 2

(iv)
