Oxidation number of cobalt ion in [CoCl2(en)2]+ will be

2 3 4 5

3

The oxidation number of the central atom in a complex is defined as the charge it would carry if all the ligands are removed along with the electron pairs that are shared with the central atom. In [CoCl2(en)2]+ x + 2(-1) + 2(0) = 1 x - 2 = 1  x = 1 + 2 = 3
