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

<em>Therefore, the coordination number= 5</em>

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

<em>Oxidation state of Co = +4</em>

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

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

<em>Therefore, the number of d electrons in cobalt ion = 5</em>

Absorption occurs when photons from incident light hit atoms and molecules and cause them to vibrate. The more an object's molecules move and vibrate, the hotter it becomes. This heat is then emitted from the object as thermal energy.

nignag [31]

The four ionic species initially in solution are Na⁺, PO₄³⁻, Cr³⁺, and Cl⁻. Since the precipitate is composed of Cr³⁺ and PO₄³⁻ ions, the spectator ions must be Na⁺ and Cl⁻.

The complete ionic equation is 3Na⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) + Cr₃⁺(aq) + 3Cl⁻(aq) → 3Na⁺(aq) + 3Cl⁻(aq) + CrPO₄(s).

So the balanced <u>net ionic equation</u> for this reaction would be Cr³⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq) → CrPO₄(s).
