Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities : [PtCl_(4)]^(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 - 4 = - 2` or `x = +2` |
