Question

In the coordination compound, $${K_4}\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right],$$    the oxidation state of nickel is

A. $$0$$  
B. $$ + 1$$
C. $$ + 2$$
D. $$ - 1$$
Answer :   $$0$$
Solution :
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let}}\,{\text{the}}\,O\,{\text{No.}}\,{\text{of}}\,Ni\,{\text{in}}\,{K_4}\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right]{\text{be}} = x\,{\text{then}} \cr & {\text{4}}\left( { + 1} \right) + x + \left( { - 1} \right) \times 4 = 0 \Rightarrow 4 + x - 4 = 0 \cr & x = 0 \cr} $$
