What is the oxidation number of Fe in `K_(3)[Fe(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

O.N.=Primary valency =charge on metal ion.
`K_(3)[Fe(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]=3K^(+)+[Fe(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]^(3-)`
Charge on co-ordination sphere = Oxidation no. of central metal + (No. of ligand `xx` Charge on ligand )
`-3 = x+(3x-2)`
x=+3
