D) + 2

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] Let the O.N. of Co be x O.N. of $ NH_3 $ is zero O.N. of Cl is - 1 O.N. of Br is - 1

$ \therefore $ $ ON( Co )+6ON( NH_3 )+2ON( Cl ) $ $ +ON( Br )=0 $

$ \Rightarrow $ $ x+6( 0 )-1\times 2-1=0 $

$ \therefore $ $ x=+3 $ So, the oxidation number of cobalt in the given complex compound is +3.
