Q201
Which of the following complexes will shows geometrical isomerism ?
A aquachlorobis (ethylenediamine) cobalt (II) chloride
B pentaaquachlorohromium (III) chloride
C potassium amminetrichloropltinate (II)
D potassium tris(oxalato) chromate (III)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

(a) [Co(H2O) Cl(en)2]Cl \to it shows gemetrical isomerism. (b) [Cr(H2O)5Cl]Cl2 : This complex is [MA5B] type.

It does not show geometrical isomerism. (c) K[Pt(NH3)Cl3] : Thiscomplex is [MAB3] type.

It does not show geometrical isomerism. (d) K3[Cr(OX)3] : This complex is [M(AA)3] type.

It does not show geometrical isomerism.

Q202
The correct order of spin-only magnetic moments among the following is : (Atomic number : Mn = 25, Co = 27, Ni = 28, Zn = 30)
A [ZnCl4]2- > [NiCl4]2- > [CoCl4]2- > [MnCl4]2-
B [CoCl4]2- > [MnCl4]2- > [NiCl4]2- > [ZnCl4]2-
C [NiCl4]2- > [CoCl4]2- > [MnCl4]2- > [ZnCl4]2-
D [MnCl4]2- > [CoCl4]2- > [NiCl4]2- > [ZnCl4]2-
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

We know, Spin only magnetic moment (μ\mu) =

n(n+2)\sqrt {n\left( {n + 2} \right)}

B.M Where, n is the number of unpaired electrons.

So, the complex having higher number of unpaired electrons will have higher value of spin only magnetic moment.

(1) Zn+2 : [Ar] 3d10 Here 0 unpaired electrons present (2) Ni+2 : [Ar] 3d8 Here 2 unpaired electrons present.

(3) Co+2 : [Ar] 3d7 Here 3 unpaired electrons present.

(4) Mn+2 : [Ar] 3d5 Here 5 unpaired electrons present.

So, correct order is \to [MnCl4]2- > [CoCl4]2- > [NiCl4]2- > [ZnCl4]2-

Q203
A reaction of cobalt (III) chloride and ethylenediamine in a 1 : 2 mole ratio generates two isomeric products A (violet coloured) and B (green coloured). A can show optical activity, but B is optically inactive. What type of isomers does A and B represcent?
A Ionisation isomers
B Linkage isomers
C Coordination isomers
D Geometrical isomers
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

CoCl3 + en \to [Co(en)2Cl2]Cl 1 : 2 A and B are Geometrical isomers.

Q204
Two complexes [Cr(H2O)6]Cl3 (A) and [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 (B) are violet and yellow coloured, respectively. The incorrect statement regarding them is :
A Δ\Delta 0 values of (A) and (B) are calculated from the energies of violet and yellow light, respectively
B both are paramagnetic with three unpaired electrons
C both absorb energies corresponding to their complementry colors.
D Δ\Delta 0 value for (A) is less than that of (B).
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

NH3 is a strong field ligand. H2O is weak field ligand. Let

Δ\Delta

violet is the crystal field splitting energy of complex A and

Δ\Delta

yellow is for complex B. \therefore

Δ\Delta

yellow >

Δ\Delta

violet. We know,

Δ\Delta

=

hcλabsorb{{hc} \over {{\lambda _{absorb}}}}

Violet color will absorb yellow color and yellow color will absorb violet color. \therefore

Δ\Delta

yellow =

hcλviolet{{hc} \over {{\lambda _{violet}}}}

and

Δ\Delta

violet =

hcλyellow{{hc} \over {{\lambda _{yellow}}}}

So,

Δ\Delta

o of A is calculated from energy of yellow light and

Δ\Delta

o of B is calculated from energy of violet light.
