A complex compound in which the oxidation number of a metal is zero, is

  1. A \(\mathrm{K}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\right]\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}\right] \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxidation number of Ni metal is zero in complex \(\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\). As \(\mathrm{CO}\) is a neutral ligand i.e., \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\) \(\begin{array}{r} x+4(0)=0 \\ x=0 \end{array}\)
