Solution

The oxidation state of Ni in [Ni(CO)4] is 0.

Here's the step-by-step explanation:

  1. The compound [Ni(CO)4] is a coordination complex, where Ni is the central metal atom and CO (carbon monoxide) is the ligand.

  2. In coordination complexes, the oxidation state of the metal is determined by assuming the ligands are ionized. However, CO is a neutral ligand, meaning it does not contribute to the overall charge of the complex.

  3. Since the overall charge of the [Ni(CO)4] complex is 0 and CO does not contribute to the charge, the oxidation state of Ni must also be 0 to maintain charge neutrality.
