Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities : K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)] |
|
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 + 6(-1) = - 3` or `x = +3.` |
