Question
What is the charge on the complex [Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2] formed by Cr(III) ?
Options
A.+3
B.+1
C.+2
D.-1
Solution
H2O is neutral, chromium oxidation state i.e. charge is +3 and oxalato anion has -2 charge; due to two C2O42- it will be -4 and net charge on the complex is algebraic sum of the charge on metal ion and ligands present in the coordination sphere. So 3 + 2 × (-2) = -1. So the formulae of complex is [Cr(C2O4)(H2O)]-.
