    Among the following identify the species with an atom in +6 oxidation state

    A)  \[MnO_{4}^{-}\]

    B)  \[Cr(CN)_{6}^{3-}\]

    C)  \[NiF_{6}^{2-}\]

    D)  \[Cr{{O}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Oxidation number of Cr in\[Cr{{O}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}\]is \[x+2\times (-2)+2\times (-1)=0\] or        \[x-4-2=0\]\[x=7\] or              \[x=+6\] \[MnO_{4}^{-}=x+4(-2)=-1\] \[x-8=-1\] \[x=+7\] \[NiF_{6}^{2-}=x+6(-1)=-2\] \[x-6=-2\] \[x=4\] \[Cr(CN)_{6}^{3-}=x+6(-1)=-3\] \[x-6=-3,\] \[x=3\]
