In Ni(CO)4 what is the oxidation number of Ni? - Chemistry Question

In Ni(CO)₄ what is the oxidation number of Ni?

Let x be the oxidation number of Ni in Ni(CO)₄ .

Since the overall charge on the complex is 0,

The sum of oxidation states of all elements in it should be equal to 0.

Therefore, x + 4 ( 0 ) = 0

Hence, x = 0.

Thus, the oxidation number of Ni in Ni(CO) 4 is 0.
