Chapter 18, Problem 18.14P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why it is inaccurate to claim that the oxidation state of the metal changes by one unit in the given reaction is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The complex that follows 18-electron rule are most stable. The electrons are donated by the ligand to the metal atomin their molecular orbitals. These 18 electrons occupy the bonding molecular orbitals and make the compound stable.
