Coordination Compounds

Question
CBSEENCH12007437
Wired Faculty App

Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:
[PtCl4]2–

Solution

The oxidation number of the metals in coordination entities:
Pt= x
Cl=(-1)
Thus oxidation number is:

x + 4 (–1) = –2
or  x = 2

oxidation no. of Pt = 2
