An element ' X ' with the atomic number 13 forms a complex of the type [ XCl ( H ₂ O )₅ ]²⁺ . The covalency and oxidation state of X in it are respectively
Options
- A5,+2
- B6,+2
- C5,+3
- D6,+3
Correct answer
D. 6,+3
Step-by-step solution
Element ' X ' is forming a complex of the type [X Cl ( H ₂ O )₅ ]²⁺ . Total number of ligands attached to X is 6 (one Cl and five H ₂ O ). Cl is a unidentate ligand with charge -1 . H ₂ O is a unidentate ligand with charge 0. x+(-1)+0=+2x-1=+2x=+2+1=+3 Oxidation state of x is +3 .
