1.

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.`
