Question

Find effective atomic number (ean) in the complex (co(nh3)6)3+

Answer 1

Answer:36

Explanation:

Oxidation state of NH3 is 0 so Co is in +3 ox.state.

EAN= Atomic no of CMA - oxidation state of CMA + 2*coordination no

Thus,

27 - 3 + 2*6 = 36

Answer 2

The effective atomic number (ean) in the complex $(Co(NH_{3} )6)^{+3}$

is "36".

Explanation:

We have,

$(Co(NH_{3} )6)^{+3}$

We know that,

The oxidation state of $NH_{3}$ = 0

and Co = + 3

∴ EAN = Atomic nummber of CMA - oxidation state of CMA + 2 × coordination noumber

∴ EAN =  27 - 3 + 2 × 6

= 36

The effective atomic number (ean) in the complex $(Co(NH_{3} )6)^{+3}$ is "36".
