Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities : [CoBr_(2)(en)_(2)]^(+) |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Oxidation NUMBERS can be obtained by ADDING the oxidation numbers of constituents and equating them with the overall charge on the ion, or zero, if it is a molecular complex. Assuming x as the oxidation NUMBER of the metal, we have `x + 2(-1) + 0 = +1` or `x = +3` |
