Question
CBSEENCH12007440

Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:
[Cr(NH3)3Cl3]

Solution

The oxidation number of the metal in the coordination entities:
Cr =x
NH3 =
Cl =(-1)

Thus the oxidation number is

x + 0 + 3(–1) = 0
or x = 3

oxidation no. of Cr = 3
