Answer:

The various species raised today are distinguished by the quality of the silk they produce. Silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberries (genus Morus) and sometimes on the Osage orange (Maclura pomifera). Bombyx Mori will not bite, making it an ideal worm for feeding most reptiles, amphibians and other animals.

Silkworms only eat mulberry leaves and/or artificial silkworm diet (Silkworm Chow). If you are going to feed the newly hatched silkworms mulberry leaves instead of Silkworm Chow be sure and only feed them the new growth (tiny 1/2 to 1 inch leaves) or they will not be able to eat them because their jaws are too weak.

What is the oxidation state, d electron count, and coordination number respectively of the cobalt ion in [CoBr(NH3)4]PO4? What i

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The correct option is: +4, 5, and 5

Explanation:

A coordination complex consists of a central metal atom or ion bonded to ligands by coordinate covalent bonds. The ligands and the central metal together form the coordination sphere.

[CoBr(NH₃)₄]PO₄

Central metal atom - Co

Coordination sphere consists of 1 Br⁻ and 4 NH₃ ligands

Therefore, the coordination number= 5

Let the oxidation state of Co = x

Oxidation state of Br⁻ ligand = (-1)

Oxidation state of NH₃ ligand = 0

Oxidation state of PO₄³⁻ ligand = -3

∴ x + (-1) × 1 + 0 × 4 + (-3) × 1 = 0

⇒ x = +4

Oxidation state of Co = +4

Electron configuration of Co in ground state: [Ar] 3d⁷ 4s²

Electron configuration of Co in +4 oxidation state: [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s⁰

Therefore, the number of d electrons in cobalt ion = 5
