(B) \(\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_2(\mathrm{en})_2\right]^{+}\)

(C) \(\mathrm{K}_2\left[\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{OH})_4\right]\)

  1. A A only
  2. B A and B only
  3. C A and C only
  4. D C only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) A and C only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In homoleptic complex, all the bounded ligands are identicals
\(\therefore \mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Al}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)_{3}\right]\) and \(\mathrm{K}_{2}\left[\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}\right]\) are homoleptic complex as they contain identical ligand i.e. \(\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)\) and \((\mathrm{OH})\).
