Question

Can you explain how to calculate valence electrons too

(a) Give the formal oxidation number and the d-electron count of the transition
element and the total number of valence electrons in metal complexes A - E.
(C5Me5 = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, 1,5-COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene)
A Ti(n³-C5Mes)2(1²-C₂H4)
B V(n5-Cp)2
