Step 1. Coordination number. [Pt(NH3)Cl5]- has one NH3 and five Cl-, all monodentate, so total donor atoms = 1+5 = 6; C.N. = 6 (section 9.3.3).
Step 2. Oxidation state. The complex ion's overall charge is -1 (as written). NH3 is neutral; each Cl- is -1 (5 x -1 = -5). Charge number = O.S.(Pt) + sum of ligand charges: , giving O.S.(Pt) .
✓Final answer
C.N. = 6, O.S.(Pt) = +4.
