Question
Give the oxidation state, d-orbital occuptaion and coordination number of the central metal ion in the following complexes:
[Mn(H2O)6SO4
Solution
The central metal ion is Mn.
The coordination number is 6.
Water is neutral ligand thus oxidation state is:
X+0 =+2
X= +2
Oxidation state = +2
d-orbital occupation is
