Correct answer: D

  1. Find oxidation state of Cr in [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3[Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3[Cr(H2​O)6​]Cl3​

    • The complex is [Cr(H2O)6]3+[Cr(H_2O)_6]^{3+}[Cr(H2​O)6​]3+ with 3Cl−3Cl^-3Cl− outside.
    • H2OH_2OH2​O is a neutral ligand.

    Let oxidation state of Cr be xxx. x+6(0)=+3x+6(0)=+3x+6(0)=+3 x=+3x=+3x=+3

  2. Find oxidation state of Cr in [Cr(C6H6)2][Cr(C_6H_6)_2][Cr(C6​H6​)2​]

    • Benzene, C6H6C_6H_6C6​H6​, acts as a neutral ligand in arene complexes.

    Let oxidation state of Cr be xxx. x+2(0)=0x+2(0)=0x+2(0)=0 x=0x=0x=0

  3. Find oxidation state of Cr in K2[Cr(CN)2(O)2(O2)(NH3)]K_2[Cr(CN)_2(O)_2(O_2)(NH_3)]K2​[Cr(CN)2​(O)2​(O2​)(NH3​)]

    • Since there are 2K+2K^+2K+ ions, the complex ion has charge −2-2−2.
    • Ligand charges:
      • 2CN−⇒−22CN^- \Rightarrow -22CN−⇒−2
      • 2O2−⇒−42O^{2-} \Rightarrow -42O2−⇒−4
      • O22−O_2^{2-}O22−​ (peroxo ligand) ⇒−2\Rightarrow -2⇒−2
      • NH3⇒0NH_3 \Rightarrow 0NH3​⇒0

    Let oxidation state of Cr be xxx. x+(−2)+(−4)+(−2)+0=−2x+(-2)+(-4)+(-2)+0=-2x+(−2)+(−4)+(−2)+0=−2 x−8=−2x-8=-2x−8=−2 x=+6x=+6x=+6

  4. Thus the oxidation states are +3, 0, +6+3,\ 0,\ +6+3, 0, +6

  5. Check options

    • A: +3,0,+4+3, 0, +4+3,0,+4 ❌
    • B: +3,+4,+6+3, +4, +6+3,+4,+6 ❌
    • C: +3,+2,+4+3, +2, +4+3,+2,+4 ❌
    • D: +3,0,+6+3, 0, +6+3,0,+6 ✅

Therefore, the correct option is D.
