Match the species in Column I with the oxidation state of the metal in Column II.
Column I: (P) VOX2X+ (Q) MnOX4X2− (R) [Fe(CN)X6]X3− (S) Ni(CO)X4
Column II: (1) 0 (2) +3 (3) +5 (4) +6
AP-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
BP-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2
CP-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1
DP-2, Q-4, R-3, S-1
Answer: A
In VOX2X+: x−4=+1 gives +5. In MnOX4X2−: x−8=−2 gives +6. In [Fe(CN)X6]X3−: x−6=−3 gives +3. In Ni(CO)X4 CO is neutral, so Ni is 0. Hence P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1.
