Question

Assume

i)  FeH2O5NO+2  obeys EAN  rule,

ii)  the oxidation state of central metal 'Fe' is +2,

 Find out  the oxidation state of NO in the given complex  ?

Moderate
Solution

FeH2O5NO+2 +2(1)+50+1x=+2; 2+x=+2; x=0;

therefore oxidation state of NO in the above complex is zero

EAN = Z-Oxidation state +2(coordination number)

EAN = 26-2+6(2)=36
