The oxidation number of iron in brown ring complexes +x. What is value of x.

Answer»

Solution :The BROWN ring complex compound is GIVEN as: `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(5)NO] SO_(4)`.
The complex ion is `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(5))NO]^(2+)`
Oxidation number of `H_(2)O` is zero and NO is +1.
Oxidation state of Fe is +1.
Experimentally, the number of UNPAIRED ELECTRONS also support +1 state of Fe (But not +2 state).
