1.

Write the coordination number and oxidation state of Platinum in the complex [Pt(en)2Cl2].

Answer»

Coordination Number = 6 , Oxidation State = +2 

Detailed Answer :

Coordination number = Denticity × Number of ligand

= 2×2 + 2×1 = 6

Charge on complex = 0

Therefore, [x+(0×2) + (-1×2)] = 0

x = +2

Oxidation state of Pt = +2
