A complex compound in which the oxidation number of a metal is zero, is
Options
- AK ₄ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ]
- BK ₃ [ Fe ( CN )₆ ]
- C[ Ni ( CO )₄ ]
- D[ Pt ( NH ₃ )₄ ] Cl ₂
Correct answer
C. [ Ni ( CO )₄ ]
Step-by-step solution
The oxidation number of Ni metal is zero in complex Ni ( CO )₄ . As CO is a neutral ligand i.e., Ni ( CO )₄ array r x+4(0)=0 x=0 array
