The sum of coordination number and oxidation number of metal M in the complex \left[M{\left(\text{ en }\right)}_{2}\left({C}_{2}{O}_{4}\right)\right]Cl (Where en is ethylenediamine) is:
Options
- A9
- B6
- C7
- D8
Correct answer
A. 9
Step-by-step solution
Oxidation state of M = +3
en and oxalate ion are bidentate ligands. So, Coordination number of M = 6
Sum of oxidation state + Coordination number = 3 + 6 = 9
