Find oxidation states and electronic configurations
-
For :
- Water is a neutral ligand.
- Two chloride ions are outside the coordination sphere, so the complex cation is .
- Hence, oxidation state of Co is .
- , so .
-
For :
- Three chloride ions are outside, so the complex cation is .
- Hence, oxidation state of Cr is .
- , so .
-
-
