In the formula [ Cu(NH3)6]2+ what is oxidation no of Cu
Dear student
The oxidation state of NH3 = 0
Let oxidation state of Cu is X.
So the oxidation state of Cu in [Cu(NH3)6] is :
X + 6 * 0 = +2
X = 2
So oxidation state of Cu is +2.
The oxidation state of NH3 = 0
Let oxidation state of Cu is X.
So the oxidation state of Cu in [Cu(NH3)6] is :
X + 6 * 0 = +2
X = 2
So oxidation state of Cu is +2.
