What is the oxidation state in coordination compound ? |
|
Answer» Solution :The oxidation STATE of a central metal atom in a coordination entity is defined as the charge it would bear if all the lighands were removed along with the ELECTRON pairs that were shared with the central atom. In naming a COMPLEX, it is represented by a Roman numeral. For e.g., in coordination entity `[FE(CN)_(6)]^(4-)` the oxidation state of iron is represented as (II). In `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)`, let the oxidation number of iron is The NET charge `=-4` `x+6(-1)=-4` `x-6=-4` `x=6-4=+2` So, iron oxidation state (II). |
