In the complex, [ Cr ( NH ₃ )₄ Cl ₂ ]⁺ , the oxidation number of Cr is
Options
- A+4
- B+3
- C+2
- D+6
Correct answer
B. +3
Step-by-step solution
Let the oxidation number of Cr is x in the complex [ Cr ( NH ₃ )₄ Cl ₂ ]⁺ aligned X +4 (0)+2 (-1) & =+1 x-2 & =+1 x & =+3 aligned Thus, the oxidation number of Cr is +3 .
