Interpretation:
The highest oxidation state for each of the elements from
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation number: It is the charge of the atom in a molecule if electrons were completely transferred. The oxidation state of free element is zero.
Oxidation: If electrons are moved from a species during a
Oxidizing agent: The substances that are capable to oxidize other species by accepting electrons from those species are called oxidizing agent which gets reduced during the process.
Effective nuclear charge: It is the charge experienced by the valence electrons from the nucleus. Effective nuclear charge increases across a period because increasing nuclear charge with no accompanying increase in shielding effect.

- There are only two geometric isomers of the tetraamminedichlorocobalt(III) ion, [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+. How many geometric isomers would be expected for this ion if it had a regular planar hexagonal geometry? Give drawings for them. Does this rule out a planar hexagonal geometry for [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+? Explain.arrow_forwardIdentify, based on the position in the periodic table, the actinide elements among those in the following list: Co, Cm, Cd, Ce, Cf.arrow_forwardWould you expect salts of the gold(I) ion, Au+, to be colored?
