Answer #1

a. K[PtCl3NH3]

Pt + 3(-1) = -1

Pt - 3 = -1

Pt = +2

Pt = +2 state

Pt+2 = 5d8 state .

b. Co(en)3Cl3

Co + 3(-1) = 0

Co - 3 = 0

Co = +3 state

Co+3 = d6 state  

c. Na[FeCl4]

Fe + 4(-1) = -1

Fe - 4 = -1

Fe = +3

Fe+3 = d5 state  

d. [NiNH3(CN)2F]NO3

Ni -2 - 1 = +1

Ni = -3 = +1

Ni = +4

Ni+4 = d6 state
