Q. The oxidation state of central atom in the complex $\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{4} ClNO _{2}\right]$ is

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

Let the oxidation state of $Co$ be $x$.

$\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{4} ClNO _{2}\right]: x+4 \times 0+1 \times(-1)+1 \times(-1)=0$

$x-2=0 \Rightarrow x=+2$
