Calculated the Oxidation number of (i)...

Calculated the Oxidation number of
(i) iron in ` [Fe(CN)_6]^(4-) `
(ii) Cobalt in ` [Co(NH_3)_5Cl]^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) In `[Fe(CN)_6]^(4-) ` Let the oxidation number of iron is x:
The net charges : ` 4=x +6(-1) =gt x=+2`
(ii) In ` [Co(NH_3) _5]^(2+) ,`let the oxidation number of cobalt is x:
The net charge :
` +2 =x+5(0) +1(-1) =gt x =+3`
