For octahedral \(Mn(II)\) and tetrahedral \(Ni(II)\) complexes, consider the following statements : \((I)\) both the complexes can be high spin \((II)\) \(Ni(II)\) complex can very rarely be low spin. \((III)\) with strong field ligands, \(Mn(II)\) complexes can be low spin. \((IV)\) aqueous solution of \(Mn ( II )\) ions is yellow in color.

  1. A \(( I ),( III )\) and \(( IV )\) only
  2. B \(( II ),( III )\) and \(( IV )\) only
  3. C \(( I ),( II )\) and \(( III )\) only
  4. D \((I)\) and \((II)\) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(( I ),( II )\) and \(( III )\) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((I)\) Under weak field ligand, octahedral \(Mn(II)\) and tetrahedral \(Ni(II)\) both the complexes are high spin complex. \((II)\) Tetrahedral \(Ni(II)\) complex can very rarely be low spin because square planar (under strong ligand) complexes of \(Ni ( II )\) are low spin…
