Calculate EAN of the metal in complexes (a) Fe(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)^(3-) and (b) CO(NO_(2))_(6)^(3-)

Answer»

SOLUTION :`Fe(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)^(3-)`the LIGAND `C_(2)O_(4)^(2-)` is a BIDENTATE ligand and oxidation no. of metalis +3
`THEREFORE` Electrons lellin`Fe^(3+) - 23`
Electrons gained from 3 bidentate ligands = 12
`thereforeEAN = 23+ 12 =35`
(b) For Co ATOMIC number = 27
Electrons lost =3
Electrons gained from `6 ligands = 12impliesEAN = 36`
