Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : In octahedral complexes, when ( _ o P ) high spin complexes are formed. When ( _ o P ) low spin complexes are formed. Statement (II) : In tetrahedral complexes because of ( _ t P ), low spin complexes are rarely formed. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- AStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
- BBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- CStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
Correct answer
D. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Step-by-step solution
In octahedral complex (( CN =6) ) If ( ₀ ) P.E., then high spin complexes are formed If ( ₀ ) P.E., then low spin complexes are formed But in tetrahedral complex (( CN =4) ) ( _t ) P.E., then mainly high spin complexes are formed and rarely low spin complexes are formed.
