Oxidation numbers of -
Cu : x + 4 × 0 - 2 = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = +2
Oxidation number of Cu = +2
Oxidation number of Pt in [Pt(NH3)2Cl2]
x + 2 × 0 + 2 × - 1 = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = + 2
Oxidation number of Ni in [Ni(CO)4]
x + 4 × 0 = 0
x = 0
Oxidation number of Fe in K3[Fe(CN)6]
3 × (+1) + x + 6 × -1 = 0
3 + x - 6 = 0
x = +3
