  • question_answer
    In\[{{K}_{3}}Cr{{({{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]the coordination number and oxidation state of Cr are respectively

    A)  6 and +3        

    B)  3 and zero

    C)  4 and+2        

    D)  3 and +3

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     In\[{{K}_{3}}Cr{{({{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}})}_{3}},\]chromium (Or) is attached by three divalent oxalate ligand hence the coordination number of Cr is 6. Let the oxidation^siate of Cr is\[x\]in \[{{K}_{3}}Cr{{({{C}_{2}}{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\] \[+3+x+3(-2)=0\] \[3+x-6=0\] \[x-3=0\] \[x=+3\]
