The correct statements from the following are:

A. The strength of anionic ligands can be explained by crystal field theory.

B. Valence bond theory does not give a quantitative interpretation of kinetic stability of coordination compounds.

C. The hybridization involved in formation of [Ni(CN)4]2–[ Ni ( CN{)}_{4} ] {}^{2 –} complex is dsp2{dsp}^{2}.

D. The number of possible isomer(s) of cis-[PtCl2(en)2]2+[ {PtCl}_{2} ( en{)}_{2} ] {}^{2 +} is one

  2. BA, C only
  3. CB, D only
  4. DB, C only

Correct answer

D. B, C only

Step-by-step solution

The strength of ligands discussed in spectrochemical series.

According to the limitations of VBT,

It does not give a quantitative interpretation of the thermodynamic or kinetic stabilities of coordination compounds.

 Hybridisation of [Ni(CN)4]−2[ Ni ( CN{)}_{4} ] {}^{- 2} is dsp2{dsp}^{2}.

The outer electronic configuration of Ni2+{Ni}^{2 +} ion is 3d84s03{d}^{8}4{s}^{0}.

It is a square planar complex. Cyanide ion is a strong field ligand, thus all electrons will be paired.

One 3d3d, one 4s4s and two 4p4porbitals undergo dsp2{dsp}^{2} hybridization, four equivalent dsp2{dsp}^{2} hybrid orbitals which are occupied by 44 electron pairs of 44 cyanide ligands.

This forms [Ni(CN)4]−2[ Ni ( CN{)}_{4} ] {}^{- 2}

cis−[PtCl2(en)2]2+cis - [ {PtCl}_{2} ( en{)}_{2} ] {}^{2 +} complex exhibits optical isomerism, hence, it has two isomers.

Hence statement B and C are correct.
