The sum of coordination number and oxidation number of the metal M in the complex [M(en)2(C2O4)]Cl (where en is ethylenediamine) is
- A6
- B7
- C8
- D9
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
[M (en)2(C2O4)]Cl
x + 0 – 2 – 2 – 1 = 0
x = + 2 + 1
x = + 3
We know that coordination number is defined as the total number of binding sites attached to the metal.
Coordination number = 6
Sum of oxidation number and coordination number = 3 + 6 = 9
