PRACTICE PROBLEM 21.1
For each of the following complexes, determine the oxidation state of the metal and the total number of valence electrons it possesses.
(a)
(b)
(c)
Interpretation:
The oxidation state of a metal and the total number of valence electrons in metals in the complexes is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The oxidation state of a metal in a complex is the charge on the metal that would be there even if all the anionic ligands and counter ions were removed.
The total number of valence electrons of a metal in a complex is obtained by the following formula:
Total number of valence electrons of metal in complex =
Here,
Answer to Problem 1PP
