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

Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : In octahedral complexes, when \(\Delta_{\mathrm{o}} \lt \mathrm{P}\) high spin complexes are formed. When \(\Delta_{\mathrm{o}} \gt \mathrm{P}\) low spin complexes are formed.
Statement (II) : In tetrahedral complexes because of \(\Delta_{\mathrm{t}} \lt \mathrm{P}\), low spin complexes are rarely formed.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In octahedral complex \((\mathrm{CN}=6)\) If \(\Delta_0 \lt \) P.E., then high spin complexes are formed If \(\Delta_0 \gt \) P.E., then low spin complexes are formed But in tetrahedral complex \((\mathrm{CN}=4)\) \(\Delta_t \lt \) P.E., then mainly high spin complexes are…
