    A complex compound in which the oxidation number of a metal is zero is

    A)  \[{{K}_{4}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]    

    B)  \[{{K}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    C)  \[[Ni{{(CO)}_{4}}]\]                      

    D)  \[[Pt{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]C{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    CO is a neutral ligand, so the oxidation state of metal in metal carbonyls is always zero.                 \[[Ni{{(CO)}_{4}}]\]                 \[x+(0\times 4)=0\]                                 \[x=0\]
