JEE Main levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 2 of 3cc068
Match the species in Column I with the oxidation state of the metal in Column II.
Column I: P [Fe(CN)X6]X4−; Q [Ni(CO)X4]; R [V(CO)X6]X−; S [Cr(NHX3)X5Cl]X2+.
Column II: 1 −1; 2 0; 3 +2; 4 +3.
AP-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4
BP-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4
CP-4, Q-2, R-1, S-3
DP-3, Q-2, R-4, S-1
Answer: A
P: x−6=−4 gives +2. Q: CO is neutral, so 0. R: x+0=−1 gives −1. S: x−1=+2 gives +3. So P-3, Q-2, R-1, S-4.
