JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 5. Co-ordination chemistry

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Among \( [Cu(NH_{3})_{4}]^{2+}, [Ni(en)_{3}]^{2+}, [Ni(NH_{3})_{6}]^{2+} \) and \( [Mn(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+}, [Mn(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} \) has the maximum number of unpaired electrons.
Statement II: The number of pairs among \( \{[NiCl_{4}]^{2-}, [Ni(CO)_{4}]\}, \{[NiCl_{4}]^{2-}, [Ni(CN)_{4}]^{2-}\} \) and \( \{[Ni(CO)_{4}], [Ni(CN)_{4}]^{2-}\} \) that contain only diamagnetic species is two.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( [Cu(NH_{3})_{4}]^{2+} \rightarrow d^{9}, dsp ^2\) one unpaired electron \( [Ni(en)_{3}]^{2+} \rightarrow d^{8}, sp ^3 d^2\) two unpaired electrons \( [Ni(NH_{3})_{6}]^{2+} \rightarrow d^{8} ,sp ^3 d^2\) two unpaired electrons…
