|---|---|
| A. | I. Octahedral |
| B. | II. Trigonal bipyramidal |
| C. | III. Square planar |
| D. | IV. Tetrahedral |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- AA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- BA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- CA-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
- DA-I, B-III, C-IV, D-II
Correct answer
B. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Step-by-step solution
For , Pt is in oxidation state. Pt(II) complexes are generally square planar with hybridization.
For , Co is in oxidation state. With a coordination number of 6, it forms an octahedral geometry.
For , Ni is in oxidation state (). Since is a weak field ligand, no pairing of electrons occurs, resulting in hybridization and a tetrahedral geometry.
For , Fe is in oxidation state. With a coordination number of 5, it forms a trigonal bipyramidal geometry with hybridization.
Therefore, the correct matching is A III, B I, C IV, D II.
Answer: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
