Solution

A.(4) B.(1) C.(3) D.(2)
Oxidation state of CMI (central metal ion) can be calculated by considering the oxidation state of whole molecule is equal to charge present on coordination sphere.

A. [Co(NCS)(NH3)5](SO3)
Let oxidation state of Co is x.
x1+5×0=+2x=+2+1=+3

B. [Co(NH3)4Cl2]SO4
Let oxidation state of Co = x.
x+4×0+2×(1)=+2x2=+2 x=4

C. Na4[Co(S2O3)3]
Let oxidation state of Co = x.
x+3×(2)=4x6=4x=4+6=+2

D. [Co2(CO)8]
Let oxidation state of Co = x.
x8×0=0x=0

Hence, correct choice is (d).
