Answer : The overall charge on the complex is, (-2)
Explanation :
The given coordination complex is, hexachloroplatinate(IV)
The formula of the given coordination complex is represented as,
[tex][Pt(Cl)_6]^{x}[/tex]
Now we have to calculate the overall charge (x) on the complex.
The oxidation sate of Pt = +4 (given)
The charge on one chloro = -1
[tex][Pt(Cl)_6]^{x}[/tex]
x = (+4) + 6(-1) = -2
The formula of the given coordination complex is represented as,
[tex][Pt(Cl)_6]^{-2}[/tex]
Therefore, the overall charge on the given complex is, (-2)
