Amongst the following, identify the species with an atom in +6 oxidation state:

Question

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: D. (d) Since the overall charge on the complex is -1, the sum of oxidation states of all elements in it should be equal to -1. Therefore, x+4 (-2 )=-1 or, x=+7 Similarly, The oxidation state of Cr in ( Cr ( CN )_6 )^3- , Ni^- NiF_6^6- and Cr in CrO_2 Cl_2 is +3 ,+4 and +6 respectively. Hence, the species with an atom in +6 oxidation state is CrO_2 Cl_2.
