Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Hybridisation, shape and spin only magnetic moment of \left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{CO}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{2}(\mathrm{BM})\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}, and respectively are square planar, tetrahedral, octahedral; and .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Statement I: Hybridisation, shape and spin only magnetic moment of \left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{CO}_{3}\right)_{3}\right]\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{2}(\mathrm{BM})\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}, and respectively are square planar, tetrahedral, octahedral; and .
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Options
- AStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
- DStatement I is false but Statement II is true
Correct answer
C. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Step-by-step solution
In Statement I, for , Cobalt is in oxidation state (). Carbonate () is a weak field ligand. Thus, no pairing occurs, resulting in 4 unpaired electrons. Hybridisation is , shape is octahedral, and BM. Statement I is true.
In Statement II:
For , is . is a strong field ligand, causing pairing. Hybridisation is , geometry is square planar, and BM.
For , is . is a weak field ligand. Hybridisation is , geometry is tetrahedral, and BM.
For , is . is a weak field ligand. Hybridisation is , geometry is octahedral, and BM.
Statement II is true.
Both statements are true.
In Statement II:
For , is . is a strong field ligand, causing pairing. Hybridisation is , geometry is square planar, and BM.
For , is . is a weak field ligand. Hybridisation is , geometry is tetrahedral, and BM.
For , is . is a weak field ligand. Hybridisation is , geometry is octahedral, and BM.
Statement II is true.
Both statements are true.
