Suppose a platinum atom in the oxidation state formed a complex with two chloride anions and two ammonia molecules. Write the ch
Korolek [52]

Answer: Pt(Cl)2(NH3)2

Explanation:

In the formation of the complex, the oxidation number of platinum is plus two (+2) and two chloride ions cancel it out by their oxidation number of -1 each. Hence the complex has an overall charge of zero. It is thus neutral with no charge attached to its formula.

Ions Types of Ions Cation Anion 1. H+ 2.O-2 3.Ba2+ 4.Br- 5.Hg2+ 6.Li+ 7.Ca2+ 8.F- 9.S-2 10.Fe3+
fiasKO [112]

Explanation:

The species with a positive charge over it, which means lack of electrons are called cations. Whereas the species with negative over it, meaning it has an excess of electrons with it are called anions.

From the list given the cations are

H+, Ba2+, Hg2+, Li+, Ca2+ and Fe2+

Whereas anions from the list are

O-2, Br-5, F-, S-2.

A Combination of cation and anions make an ionic compound in which cation is written first and then anion.
