Answer» Correct Answer - D
(1) `Cu(3d^(10) 4s^(1)) rarr Cu^(2+) (3d^(9))` . Since `C1^(-)` is a weak field ligand, no rearrangement of electrons is possible. The hybridization is `sp^(3)` and the complex ion `[CuC1_(4)]^(2-)` is paramagnetic due to one unpaired electron.
(2) `Mn(3d^(5) 4s^(2)) rarr Mn^(2+) (3d^(5))` . Since `C1^(-)` is a weak field ligand, no rearrangement of electrons is possible. The hybridization is `sp^(3)` and the complex ion `[MnC1_(4)]^(2-)` is paramagnetic due to 5 unpaired electrons.
(3) `Ni(3d^(8) 4s^(2)) rarr Ni^(2+) (3d^(8))` . Since `C1^(-)` is a weak field ligand, no rerrangement of electrons is possible. Thus, the hybridization is `sp^(3)` and the complex ion `[NiC1_(4)]^(2-)` is paramagnetic due to two unpaired electrons.
(4) `Cu(3d^(10) 4s^(1)) rarr Cu^(2+) (3d^(9))` . Since `NH_(3)` is an intermediate field ligand and `Cu^(2+)` ion has relatively higher charge density possible. In this process, one electron is shifted form 3d to 4p subshell so as to provide one 3d orbital for `dsp^(2)` hybridization. Thus, the complex has square planer geometry and is paramagnetic due to one unpaired electron.

Which of the following is not an inner orbital complex ?A. `[Mn(CN)_(6)]^(3+)`B. `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)`C. `[Co(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)`D. `[Co(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]^(3-)`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
In the formation of an inner orbital complex, the inner d orbital (3d) is used in hybridization. `[Mn(CN)_(6)]^(3-)[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)` and `[Co(C_(2)O_(4))_(3)]^(3-)` are inner orbital complexes involving `d^(2) sp^(3)` hybrization. The first two complexes are paramagnetic corresponding to one unpaired electron while the third one is diamagnetic. Such complexes are unsually formed with strong field ligands `[Co(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)` is an outer orbital complex involving `sp^(3) d^(2)` hybridization. Note that `H_(2)O` is a weak field ligand.

Answer» Correct Answer - B
In the formation of an outer orbital complex, the outer d orbital (4d) is used in hybridization. `[MnC1_(6)]^(3-)` , `[FeF_(6)]^(3-)` and `[CoF_(6)]^(3-)` are outer orbital complexes involving `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridization and are paramagnetic corresponding to four, five and four unpaired electrons. `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)` is an inner orbital complex with `d^(2) sp^(3)` hybrization.

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`Ni^(2+)` has two unpaired `(3d^(8))` electrons. `CN^(-)` is strong field ligand and thus all the eight electrons are paired giving `dsp^2`-hybridization.

Answer» `[Co(CN)_(6)]^(3-)` has larger value of `Delta_(0)` than `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` since `CN^(Θ)` has greater field strength than `NH_(3)` (ii) `NH_(3)` has greater field strength than `F^(Θ)` ion hence `Delta_(0)` will be greater for `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)`
(iii) Charge on Co in `[Co(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)` is + 2 whereas charge on Co in `[Co(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` is + 3 Since charge on `Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` is higher than `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(2+) ,Delta_(0)` for `[Co(NH_3)_(6)]^(3+)` is larger than `[CoNH_(3)_(6)]^(2+)` .

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C
Homopleptic complex The complex containing only one species or group as ligand is known as homoleptic ligand.
e.g., `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+), [Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)`
Here, `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` contain only `NH_(3)` as a ligand and `[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` contain `CN` as a ligand. While other two complexes `[Co(NH_(3))_(4) Cl_(2)]^(+)` and `[Ni(NH_(3))_(4)Cl_(2)]` contain `NH_(3)` and `Cl` as ligands.
Hence, options (a) and (c) are correct choices.

Answer» The CFSE of the ligands is in the order :
`H_(2)O lt NH_(3) lt CN^(-)`
Hence , excitation energies are in the order .
`[Co(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) lt [Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+) lt [Co(CN)_(6)]^(3-)`
From the relation ` E = (hv)/(lambda) implies E prop (1)/(lambda)`
The order of absorption of wavelength of light in the visible region is :
`[Co(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) gt [Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+) gt [Co(CN)_(6)]^(3-)`
