    Which compound is zero valent metal complex?

    A)  \[[Cu{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]S{{O}_{4}}\]  

    B)  \[[Pt{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]\]

    C)  \[[Ni{{(CO)}_{4}}]\]                       

    D)  \[{{K}_{3}}[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[[Cu{{(NH)}_{4}}]S{{O}_{4}}\] Oxidation numbers of \[Cu\Rightarrow x+4\times 0-2=0\]                 \[x-2=0\]                                 \[x=+2\] O.N of \[Cu=+2\] O.N of Pt in \[[Pt\,{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{2}}C{{l}_{2}}]\] \[x+2\times 0+2\times -1=0\]                 \[x+4\times 0=0\]                                 \[x=0\] O.N of Ni in \[[Ni\,\,{{(CO)}_{4}}]\]                 \[x+4\times 0=0\]                                 \[x=0\] O.N of Fe in \[{{K}_{3}}\,[Fe\,\,{{(CN)}_{6}}]\] \[3\times (+1)+x+6\times -1=0\]                 \[3+x-6=0\]                                 \[x=+3\] \[\therefore \] \[[Ni\,{{(CO)}_{4}}]\] is zero valent compound
