For linear [Ru(NH₃)₅(NO)]³⁺, adopt the formal NO⁺ convention and low-spin octahedral counting. Ru has Z = 44 and is group 8. Which statements follow within this convention?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:

A, B, C

Solution:

x+1 = 3 gives Ru(II), d⁶. Low-spin $t_{2 g}$ ⁶ is paired. EAN = 44−2+12 = 54. NO⁺ has one fewer electron than NO. Formal charge assignments are a counting convention and need not describe the entire delocalised electron density.
