Dear Student,

Coordination number of M = 6 as en and C2O4 both are bidentate ligands
oxidation number of M can be calculated as, x+ 2(0)+(-2)=+1or, x=+3Therefore, sum of coordination number and oxidation number= 6+3=9the correct answer is (3)

the sum of coordination no. and oxidation no. of the metal M in the complex [M(en)2(c2o4)]cl where en is ethylenediamines 1)7 2)8 3) 9 4)6
