Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For \([\text{Co(NH}_3\text{)}_6]^{3+}\), the coordination number is \(6\), which corresponds to an octahedral geometry. Thus, (a) matches with (ii).
For \([\text{NiCl}_4]^{2-}\), \(\text{Ni}\) is in the \(+2\) oxidation state with a \(3d^8\) configuration. Since \(\text{Cl}^-\) is a weak field ligand, no pairing occurs, leading to \(sp^3\) hybridization and a tetrahedral geometry. Thus, (b) matches with (iii).
For \([\text{Ni(CN)}_4]^{2-}\), \(\text{Ni}\) is in the \(+2\) oxidation state with a \(3d^8\) configuration. Since \(\text{CN}^-\) is a strong field ligand, pairing of electrons occurs, leading to \(dsp^2\) hybridization and a square planar geometry. Thus, (c) matches with (iv).
For \([\text{Fe(CO)}_5]\), the coordination number is \(5\). \(\text{Fe}\) is in the \(0\) oxidation state with a \(3d^6 4s^2\) configuration. The strong field ligand \(\text{CO}\) causes pairing of electrons, resulting in \(dsp^3\) hybridization and a trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Thus, (d) matches with (i).
The correct matching is a-ii, b-iii, c-iv, d-i.
