Question 1. Which of the following complex formed by Cu2+ ions is most stable?<\/strong>
\n\"NCERT
\n Solution:<\/strong> (b) The greater the value of log K, the greater will be stability of complex compound formed.
\nFor reaction,
\n\"Coordination
\nFor this reaction, log K has highest value among the given four reactions. Hence, K will also be higher among these four, i.e., stability of the complexes will be highest among these four complexes.<\/p>\n

Question 3. When 0.1 mol COCl3<\/sub>(NH3<\/sub>)5<\/sub> is treated with excess of AgNO3<\/sub>, 0.2 mol of AgCl are obtained. The conductivity of solution will correspond to<\/strong>
\n (a) 1:3 electrolyte<\/strong>
\n (b) 1:2 electrolyte<\/strong>
\n (c) 1:1 electrolyte<\/strong>
\n (d) 3:1 electrolyte<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> (b) One mole of AgNO3<\/sub><\/strong> precipitates one mole of chloride ion. In the above reaction, when 0.1 mole COCl3<\/sub><\/strong>(NH3<\/sub><\/strong>)5<\/sub><\/strong> is treated with excess of AgNO3<\/sub><\/strong>, 0.2 mole of AgCl are obtained thus, there must be two free chloride ions in the solution of electrolyte.
\nSo, molecular formula of complex will be [CO(NH3<\/sub><\/strong>)5<\/sub><\/strong>Cl]Cl2<\/sub><\/strong> and electrolytic solution must contain [CO(NH3<\/sub><\/strong>)5<\/sub><\/strong>Cl]2+<\/sup><\/strong> and two CT as constituent ions. Thus, it is 1 : 2 electrolyte.
\n\"NCERT
\nHence, option (b) is the correct.<\/p>\n

Question 4. When 1 mol CrCl3<\/sub>.6H2<\/sub>O is treated with excess of AgNO3<\/sub>, 3 mol of AgCl are obtained. The formula of the complex is<\/strong>
\n\"NCERT
\n Solution:<\/strong> (d) 3 mol of AgCl means 3Cl are given in the solution hence, the formula of the complex will be [Cr(H2<\/sub><\/strong>O)6<\/sub><\/strong>]Cl3<\/sub><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Question 5. The correct IUPAC name of [Pt(NH3<\/sub>)2<\/sub>Cl2<\/sub>] is<\/strong>

\n (b) diamminedichloridoplatinum (IV)<\/strong>
\n (c) diamminedichloridoplatinum (I)<\/strong>
\n (d) dichloridodiammineplatinum (IV)<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> (a) [Pt(NH3<\/sub><\/strong>)2<\/sub><\/strong>Cl2<\/sub><\/strong>] is diamminedichloridoplatinum (II) .<\/p>\n

Question 6. The stabilization of coordination compounds due to chelation is called the chelate effect. Which of the following is the most stable complex species?<\/strong>
\n\"NCERT
\n Solution:<\/strong> (c) Chelation (formation of cycle by linkage between metal ion and ligand) stabilizes the coordination compound. The ligand which chelates the metal ion are known as chelating ligand.
\nHere, only [Fe(C2<\/sub><\/strong>O4<\/sub><\/strong>)3<\/sub><\/strong>]3-<\/sup><\/strong> is a coordination compound which contains oxalate ion as a chelating ligand. Hence, it stabilizes coordination compound by chelating Fe3+<\/sup><\/strong> ion.<\/p>\n

\n\"NCERT
\n Solution:<\/strong>
\n\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 9. Due to the presence of ambidentate ligands coordination compounds<\/strong>
\n show isomerism. Palladium complexes of the type [Pd(C6<\/sub>H5<\/sub>)2<\/sub>(SCN)]2<\/sub> and [Pd(C6<\/sub>H5<\/sub>)2<\/sub>(NCS)2<\/sub>] are\u00a0<\/strong>
\n (a) linkage isomers (b) coordination isomers<\/strong>
\n (c) ionization isomers (d) geometrical isomers.<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> (a) The ligands having two different bonding sites are known as ambident ligands e.g., NCS, NO2<\/sub><\/strong>, etc.
\nHere, NCS has two binding sites at N and S.
\nHence, NCS (thiocyanate) can bind to the metal ion in two ways M <- NCS or M \u2014> SNC
\nThus, coordination compounds containing NCS as a ligand can show linkage isomerism i.e., [Pd(C6<\/sub><\/strong>H5<\/sub><\/strong>)2<\/sub><\/strong>(SCN)2<\/sub><\/strong> and [Pd(C6<\/sub><\/strong>H5<\/sub><\/strong>)2<\/sub><\/strong>(NCS)2<\/sub><\/strong>] are linkage isomers.
\nHence, correct choice is (a).<\/p>\n

Question 10. The compounds [Co(SO4<\/sub>)(NH3<\/sub>)5<\/sub>]Br and [CO(SO4<\/sub>)(NH3<\/sub>)5<\/sub>]Cl represent<\/strong>

\n (a) Thiosulphate (b) Oxalato<\/strong>

\n Solution:<\/strong> (a) Thiosulphate or S2<\/sub><\/strong>O3<\/sub><\/strong>–<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0is not a chelating agent since it is a monodentate ligand.<\/p>\n

Question 12. Which of the following species is not expected to be a ligand?<\/strong>

\n (c) NH2<\/sub>CH2<\/sub>CH2<\/sub>NH2<\/sub> (d) CO<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> (b) Ligand must donate a pair of electrons or loosely held electron pair to metal and form a M – L bond,

\n (d) tetrahedral complexes have larger crystal field splitting than octahedral complex<\/strong>

\n Solution:<\/strong> An optically active [M(AA)2<\/sub><\/strong>X2<\/sub><\/strong>]n+<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0indicates civ-octahedral structure e.g. cis- [Pt(en)2<\/sub><\/strong>Cl2<\/sub><\/strong>]2+<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0or cis-[Cr(en)2<\/sub><\/strong>Cl2<\/sub><\/strong>]+<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

Question 27. Magnetic moment of [MnCl4<\/sub>]2-<\/sup> is 5.92 BM. Explain giving reason.<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> The magnetic moment of 5.92 BM corresponds to the presence of five unpaired electrons in the d-orbitals of Mn2+<\/sup><\/strong> ion. As a result the hybridisation involved is sp\u00a0rather than dsp2<\/sup><\/strong>. Thus tetrahedral structure of [MnCl4<\/sub><\/strong>]2-<\/sup><\/strong> complex will show 5.92 BM magnetic moment value.<\/p>\n

\n Solution:<\/strong>
\n\"NCERT<\/p>\n

\n\"NCERT<\/p>\n

Question 31. Explain why [Fe(H2<\/sub>O)6<\/sub>]3+<\/sup>\u00a0has magnetic moment value of 5.92 BM whereas [Fe(CN)6<\/sub>]3-<\/sup> has a value of only 1.74 BM.<\/strong>

Question 32. Arrange following complex ions in increasing order of crystal field splitting energy (A0):<\/strong>
\n [Cr(Cl)6<\/sub>]3-<\/sup>, [Cr(CN)6<\/sub>]3-<\/sup>, [Cr(NH3<\/sub>)6<\/sub>]3+<\/sup><\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> Crystal field splitting energy increases in the order:
\n[Cr(Cl)6<\/sub>]3-<\/sup>\u00a0< [Cr(CN)6<\/sub>]3-<\/sup> < [Cr(NH3<\/sub>)6<\/sub>]3+<\/sup><\/p>\n

Question 33. Why do compounds having similar geometry have different magnetic moment?<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> The compounds having similar geometry may have different number of unpaired electrons due to the presence of weak and strong field ligands in complexes. If CFSE is high, the complex will show low value of magnetic moment and if CFSE is low, the complex will show high value of magnetic moment. For example, the [CoF6<\/sub>]3 is paramagnetic moment. For example, the |COF6<\/sub>]3 is paramagnetic but [Co(NH3<\/sub>)6<\/sub>]3+ is diamagnetic.<\/p>\n

Question 34. CUSO4<\/sub>.5H2<\/sub>O is blue in colour while CuSO4<\/sub> is colourless. Why?<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> In CUSO4<\/sub>.5H2<\/sub>O, water acts as ligand. As a result it causes crystal field splitting. Hence, d-d transition is possible in CuSO4<\/sub>.5H2<\/sub>O and shows colour. In the anhydrous CuSO4<\/sub> due to the absence of water (ligand), crystal field splitting is not possible and hence no d-d transitions and no colour.<\/p>\n

Question 49. What is the relationship between observed colour of the complex and the wavelength of light absorbed by the complex?<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> When white light falls on the complex, some part of it is absorbed. The higher the crystal field splitting, the lower will be the wavelength absorbed by the complex. The observed colour of complex is the colour generated from the wavelength left over.<\/p>\n

Question 50. Why are different colours observed in octahedral and tetrahedral complexes for the same metal and same ligands?<\/strong>
\n Solution:<\/strong> Lower wavelength is absorbed in octahedral complex than tetrahedral complex for the same metal and ligand. In tetrahedral coordination entity, formation of the d-orbital splitting is inverted and is smaller as compared to the octahedral field splitting. For the same metal-ligand complexes, it can be shown that
