Hey dear,
● Oxidation state -
- Oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions.
● Answer -
O.S. of Co = +3
● Explanation -
Let x be oxidation state of Co in [Co(NH3)5(CO3)]ClO4.
To get overall charge zero.
1×x + 5×(0) + 1×(-2) + 1×(-1) = 0
x - 3 = 0
x = +3
Therefore, oxidation state of Co in given complex must be +3.
Hope this helps you...
