Question

If $H_x\left[Pt{y}_6\right],y$ is a monodentate negatively charged ligand then find out the value of x :

• A. 5
• B. 3
• C. 6
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D None of these

$Pt$ has oxidation state of +2 and there are 6 ligands so the value of $H$ must be 4.

If $H_x\left[Pt{y}_6\right],y$ is a monodentate negatively charged ligand then the value of x is 4.

Option (D) is correct.
