Question

Calculate the oxidation state of the central metal atom. K2[PtCl6].​

Answer 1

Gud Afternoon

How r u?♥️

Here's ur answer

Oxidation state of:

• K => +1
• Pt => x
• Cl => -1

Since the molecule is neutral net oxidation state of the molecule will be 0

Hence

(2×1) + x + (6×-1) = 0

2 + x -6 = 0

x - 4 = 0

x = +4

Hence the oxidation state of the central metal atom ie platinum is +4
