Chapter 23, Problem 23.52P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given complex the charge and coordination number of the central metal ion(s) has to be find out.

  $K\left[Pt\left(N{H}_3\right)C{l}_5\right]$

Concept introduction:

Coordination number:

The coordination number is the number of ligand atoms bonded directly to the central metal ion in a complex ion.

Oxidation number: (Oxidation state) A number equal to the magnitude of the charge an atom would have if its shared electrons were transferred to the atom that attracts them more strongly.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given complex the charge and coordination number of the central metal ion(s) has to be find out.

  $\left[Cu(en){(N{H}_3)}_2\right] \left[Co(en)(C{l}_4)\right]$

Concept introduction:

Coordination number:

The coordination number is the number of ligand atoms bonded directly to the central metal ion in a complex ion.

Oxidation number: (Oxidation state) A number equal to the magnitude of the charge an atom would have if its shared electrons were transferred to the atom that attracts them more strongly.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given complex the charge and coordination number of the central metal ion(s) has to be find out.

  $\left[\text{Pt}{\left(en\right)}_2\left(B{r}_2\right)\right]{{\text{(ClO}}_{\text{4}}\text{)}}_{\text{2}}\text{. }$

Concept introduction:
