Since cells are hard to see the microscope helped them see. scientist were able to actually see cells in tissues placed under the microscope.
The given complex ion is as follow,
[Ru (CN) (CO)₄]⁻
Where;
[ ] = Coordination Sphere
Ru = Central Metal Atom = <span>Ruthenium
CN = Cyanide Ligand
CO = Carbonyl Ligand
The charge on Ru is calculated as follow,
Ru + (CN) + (CO)</span>₄ = -1
Where;
-1 = overall charge on sphere
0 = Charge on neutral CO
-1 = Charge on CN
So, Putting values,
Ru + (-1) + (0)₄ = -1
Ru - 1 + 0 = -1
Ru - 1 = -1
Ru = -1 + 1
Ru = 0
Result:
<span>Oxidation state of the metal species in each complex [Ru(CN)(CO)</span>₄]⁻ is zero.
Answer:
subatomic particles are smaller then atoms
