Question
CBSEENCH12007482

Give the oxidation state, d-orbital occuptaion and coordination number of the central metal ion in the following complexes:
(NH4)2[CoF4]

Solution

The central metal ion is Co.
The coordination number is 4.
Fluorine is monodante ligand (-1)  thus oxidation state is:
x-4 = -2
x =+2

Oxidation state  = +2
d-orbital occupation is d7(t2g5 eg2)
