Practice question

Given: What is the oxidation state of cobalt in [Co(en)2Cl₂]Cl ? Formula: The complex charge is +1 (balanced by 1 Cl⁻), so Co’s oxidation state is x - 2 = +1, x = +3 .. Substitution & Calculation: In [Co(en)2Cl₂]+, 2 en are neutral, 2 Cl^- contribute -2. Final Result: The computed value matches expected outcome and confirms correct choice as per latest NCERT 2026-27.
