Suppose a platinum atom in the oxidation state formed a complex with two chloride anions and two ammonia molecules. Write the chemical formula of this complex.

Respuesta :

Answer: Pt(Cl)2(NH3)2

Explanation:

In the formation of the complex, the oxidation number of platinum is plus two (+2) and two chloride ions cancel it out by their oxidation number of -1 each. Hence the complex has an overall charge of zero. It is thus neutral with no charge attached to its formula.
