Explain with two examples the following
oxidation number of central atom.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Oxidation number of central atom : The oxidation number of the central atom in a complex is defined as the charge it would carry if all the ligands are removed along with the electron pairs that are shared with the central atom.
The oxidation number is represented by a Roman numeral in parenthesis following the name of the coordination entity. For example, oxidation number of copper in `[Cu(CN)_4]^(3-)` is + 1 and it is written as Cu(I).
