The oxidation state is +4
Explanation:
The oxidation state of :
The breakdown of charges of the various elements is:
K = +1 × 2 = +2
CN = -1 × 2 = -2
O = -2 × 2 = -4
NH_3 = 0 because it is a neutral ligand
We have to calculate the oxidation state of Cr. Let it be x because Cr has positive ions.
Since the compound formed is a neutral one, so the total charges = 0
Now equating them we get,
(+2) + x + (-2) + (-4) + 0 = 0
x - 4 = 0
x = 4
Chromium has a charge of +4
From this we can say that the compound is electrically neutral.
