Question

Part B

What is the charge on each of the following complex ions?

hexaaquachromium(II), [Cr(H2O)6]?

tris(carbonato)ferrate(III), [Fe(CO3)3]?

diaquatetrachlorovanadate(III), [V(H2O)2Cl4]?

Express the charges numerically, in the order that the complexes are listed, separated by commas. For a nonzero charge, be sure to include the sign (e.g., +1,-2,+3).

Part C

What is the oxidation number of the central metal ion in each of the following complexes?
