Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Na}_3\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_2\right)_6\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxidation state of metal ion is +3 . Hence, Sodium hexanitrocobaltate \((\mathrm{III}): \mathrm{Na}_3\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NO}_2\right)_6\right]\)
