What is the oxidation state of Pt in $(PtF_5)_4$? |
+3 +5 +4 +2 |
+5 |
The correct answer is Option (2) → +5 In $(\text{PtF}_5)_4$​:
So, for one $\text{PtF}_5$​ unit: $\text{Oxidation state of Pt} + 5(-1) = 0$ $\text{Oxidation state of Pt} = +5$ The tetrameric nature $(\text{PtF}_5)_4$​ does not change the oxidation state of Pt. |
