Answer:

Lewis structure of Hydronium ion is shown below :

Explanation:

Lewis structure : It is a representation of valence electrons on the atoms in a molecule

Here , Hydronium ion is given , which contains 1 atom of oxygen and 3 atoms of hydrogen .

Oxygen has a total of 6 valence electrons and hydrogen contains 1 valence electron .

Oxygen share its 3 valence electrons with 3 hydrogen atoms and left with 3 valence electrons. From these three valence electrons of oxygen atom two electrons will be shown as a pair of electrons on oxygen atom but a single electron can not be shown . So , to simplify this, one positive charge is shown overall .

Resonance structure will be same as the hybrid structure because all three atoms are same , that is hydrogen .

The coordination compound Co3[Cr(CN)6]2 contains Co2+ cations and a complex anion. What is the likely oxidation state for Cr in

otez555 [7]

Answer:

-3

Explanation:

The oxidation state or oxidation number of an atom is the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

The complex anion here is [Cr(CN)6]3-.

Now, as the oxidation state of CN or cyanide ligand is -1, and if we suppose the oxidation state of Cr to be 'x', then; x - 6 = -3 (overall charge on the anion),

so x= +3. Hence the oxidation state of Chromium in this complex hexacyanochromium (III) anion comes out to be -3.
