                                           [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺

Ligands and charges on them,

                             5 × NH₃  =  5 × 0  =  0

                             1 × Br⁻¹  =  1 × -1  =  -1

Charge on sphere  =  +2

So, putting values in equation,

                                       Co + (0)₅ - 1  =  +2

                                       Co + 0 - 1  =  +2

                                       Co - 1  =  +2

                                       Co  =  +2 + 1

                                       Co  =  +3

Result:
           Oxidation state of Co in [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺ is +3.

Are ALL cations positive or negative ions
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:  Ions result from atoms or molecules that have gained or lost one or more valence electrons, giving them a positive or negative charge. Those with a negative charge are called anions and those with a positive charge are called cations. Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. ... And all of them form an anion with a single negative charge. The VIA elements gain two electrons to form anions with a 2- charge.

hope this helps

The reactivity of metals on the periodic table
kari74 [83]

Explanation:

The most reactive metals are found on the left of the periodic table, in the blue column, known as the alkali metals. Their reactivity increases as we go down column (group) one. Reactive metals, when attached to less reactive metals, have the ability to prevent the less reactive metal from rusting.

Electronegativity is :_______________
bixtya [17]

Answer:

c) the attraction of an atom for the electrons in a covalent bond.

Explanation:

Electronegativity, symbol χ, is a chemical property describing an atom's ability of to attract a shared pair of electrons to itself. It is influenced by the atomic number of the atom and the distance between the valence electrons and the charged nucleus. As the electronegativity number of atoms increases, the more the atom attracts electrons towards itself.
