Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the oxidation state of cobalt in the complex \( Co_2(CO)_8 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the components of the complex The complex \( Co_2(CO)_8 \) consists of cobalt (Co) and carbonyl (CO) ligands. ### Step 2: Determine the charge of the ligands Carbonyl (CO) is a neutral ligand, meaning it does not contribute any charge to the overall complex. Therefore, the charge of each carbonyl ligand is 0. ...
