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
Solution:
(a)
Oxidation state of Rh is
(b)
Oxidation state of Hg is
(c)
Oxidation state of Ni is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The oxidation state of rhodium is
Charge on rhodium is as follows:
Here,
Now, d-electrons in rhodium are
Total number of valence electrons of metal in complex =
Here,
For rhodium, the total number of valence electrons in the complex
Thus, the number of valence electrons in rhodium is

Sodium (Na) is famous for its spectrum being dominated by two yellow emission lines at 589.0 and 589.6 nm, respectively. These lines result from electrons relaxing to the 3s subshell. a. What is the photon energy (in J) for one of these emission lines? Show your work. b. To what electronic transition in hydrogen is this photon energy closest to? Justify your answer-you shouldn't need to do numerical calculations. c. Consider the 3s subshell energy for Na - use 0 eV as the reference point for n=∞. What is the energy of the subshell that the electron relaxes from? Choose the same emission line that you did for part (a) and show your work.arrow_forward
