Oxidation number of cobalt in `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]Cl_(2)Br` is -A. `+6`B. ZeroC. `+3`D. `+2`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let the oxidation number of Co be x
Oxidation number of `NH_(2)` is zero
Oxidation number of `Cl` is `-1`
Oxidation number of Br is `-1`
Hence, `x+6(0)-1xx2-1=0`
`therefore" "x=+3`
So, the oxidation number of corbalt in the given complex compound is `+3`.
