Given below are two statements :
Statement I: Aluminium upon reaction with NaOH forms \([Al(OH)_6]^{3-}\) ion.
Statement II: The geometry of \(ICl_4^-\), \(ClO_3^-\) and \(IBr_2^-\) is square planar, pyramidal and linear respectively.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  2. B Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. C Statement I is true but Statement II is false
  4. D Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statement I: Aluminium reacts with aqueous sodium hydroxide to form sodium tetrahydroxoaluminate(III) and liberates hydrogen gas. The reaction is given by: \(2Al + 2NaOH + 6H_2O \rightarrow 2Na^+[Al(OH)_4]^- + 3H_2\) The complex ion formed is \([Al(OH)_4]^-\), not…
