In the complex, potassium pentacyanonitrosylvandate (0), the number of potassium atoms per molecule and the coordination number of central metal ion are respectively

  • A
    5, 5
  • B
    4, 6
  • Correct answer
    C
    5, 6
  • D
    4, 4

Solution

Here in the complex, potassium pentacyanonitrosylvandate (0), the number of potassium atoms per molecule and the coordination number of central metal ion are 5, 6 respectively as oxidation number of V in this complex is '0' thus the charge on pentacyanonitrosylvandate is -5. Thus formula of the complex is K5[V(CN)5NO] .
 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
