Options

  1. AA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
  2. BA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
  3. CA-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
  4. 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 ( Cl ₂)( NH ₃)₂] , Pt is in +2 oxidation state. Pt(II) complexes are generally square planar with dsp^2 hybridization. For [ Co ( NH ₃)₆] Cl ₃ , Co is in +3 oxidation state. With a coordination number of 6, it forms an octahedral geometry. For [ NiCl ₄]²⁻ , Ni is in +2 oxidation state ( 3d^8 ). Since Cl ^- is a weak field ligand, no pairing of electrons occurs, resulting in sp^3 hybridization and a tetrahedral geometry. For [ Fe ( CO )₅] , Fe is in 0 oxidation state. With a coordination number of 5, it for
