Yellow compound of lead chromate gets dissolved on treatment with hot NaOHNaOH solution. The product of lead formed is a :

Options

  1. ATetraanionic complex with coordination number six
  2. BNeutral complex with coordination number four
  3. CDianionic complex with coordination number six
  4. DDianionic complex with coordination number four

Correct answer

D. Dianionic complex with coordination number four

Step-by-step solution

Lead chromate is yellow in color due to their absorption and reflection of specific wavelengths of light.

PbCrO4+NaOH(hotexcess)→[Pb(OH)4]−2+Na2CrO4{PbCrO}_{4} + NaOH ( hotexcess ) \to [ Pb ( OH{)}_{4} ] {}^{- 2} + {Na}_{2}{CrO}_{4}

The complex formed is [Pb(OH)4]2−{\left[Pb{\left(OH\right)}_{4}\right]}^{2 -}

which has coordination number =4= 4 and complex is dianionic due to presence of \left(- 2\right) charge.

coordination number, the number of atoms, ions, or molecules that a central atom or ion holds as its nearest neighbours in a complex or coordination compound or in a crystal.
