Q.

The sum of coordination number and oxidation number of the metal M in the complex [M(en)2(C2O4)]Cl (where en is ethylenediamine) is          [2015]

1 6  
2 7  
3 8  
4 9  

Ans.

(4)

[M(en)2(C2O4)]Cl

Oxidation number of metal = +3

Coordination number of metal = 6

Sum of oxidation number and coordination number = 3 + 6 = 9
