Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryCoordination Compounds
Which of the following is/are correct
Options
- A[ CrCl ₂( CN )₂ ( NH ₃ )₂ ] and [ CrCl ₃ ( NH ₃ )₃ ] , both have d ^2 sp ^3 hybridisation
- BMagnetic moment of [ PdCl ₄ ]²⁻ is zero
- C[ Cu ( NH ₃ )₄ ]²⁺, [ Pt ( NH ₃ )₄ ]²⁺ and [ Ni ( CN )₄ ]²⁻ , all have dsp ^2 hybridization of central metal
- DIt is difficult to substitute chelating ligands compared to similar monodentate ligands
Correct answer
D. It is difficult to substitute chelating ligands compared to similar monodentate ligands
Step-by-step solution
Both complexes have Cr ⁺³ ( ~d ^3 ) , and coordination number is 6 . Hence d ^2 s p^3 Pd ⁺² ( ~d ^8 ) complexes with coordination number 4 are square plannar and magnetic moment is zero.
