Give the oxidation state of the metal species in each complex. ru(cn)(co)4 -

The given complex ion is as follow,

                                              [Ru (CN) (CO)₄]⁻

Where;
            [ ]  =  Coordination Sphere

            Ru  =  Central Metal Atom  =  Ruthenium

            CN  =  Cyanide Ligand

            CO  =  Carbonyl Ligand

The charge on Ru is calculated as follow,

                               Ru + (CN) + (CO)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:
          Oxidation state of the metal species in each complex [Ru(CN)(CO)₄]⁻ is zero.

1. and 2. question: in which equation? or i don't understand you, 3. a), 4. c), 5. c), 6. b), 7. d), 8. d) if small number is underlined(behind symbol) , b) if big number is underlined(in front of symbol)9. what is underlined there? 10. c)

2.00 is the !
