Chapter 21, Problem 21.64SP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of the metal in ${\text{AgCl}}_{\text{2}}{}^{-}$ complex should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation state is the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom in a chemical reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of the metal in ${\left[\text{Cr}{\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)}_{\text{5}}\text{Cl}\right]}^{2+}$ complex should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation state is the number of electrons that are either gain or lose by an atom in a chemical reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of the metal in ${\left[\text{Co}{\left(\text{NCS}\right)}_{\text{4}}\right]}^{2-}$ complex should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation state is the number of electrons that are either gain or lose by an atom in a chemical reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of the metal in ${\left[{\text{ZrF}}_{\text{8}}\right]}^{4-}$ complex should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation state is the number of electrons that are either gain or lose by an atom in a chemical reaction.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The oxidation number of the metal in ${\left[\text{Fe}\left(\text{EDTA}\right)\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)\right]}^{-}$ complex should be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation state is the number of electrons that are either gained or lost by an atom in a chemical reaction.
