Q83
The Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) of [CoF3(H2O)3] (Δ\Delta 0 < P) is :
A -0.8 Δ\Delta 0
B -0.4 Δ\Delta 0
C -0.8 Δ\Delta 0 + 2P
D -0.4 Δ\Delta 0 + P
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

As

Δ\Delta

0 < P, so all ligands behaves as weak field ligands. For octahedral Crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) = (-0.4

Δ\Delta

0) ×\times nt2g + (+0.6

Δ\Delta

0) ×\times neg + np nt2g = number of electrons in t2g orbital neg = number of electrons in eg orbital n = number of extra pairs p = Pairing energy Here nt2g = 1 neg = 0 n = 0 ( For weak field ligands n always zero.

Here H2O is weak field ligand) \therefore Crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) = (-0.4

Δ\Delta

0) ×\times 4 + (+0.6

Δ\Delta

Δ\Delta

0 = -0.4

Δ\Delta

0

Q84
The number of isomers possible for [Pt(en)(NO2)2] is :
A 3
B 1
C 4
D 2

Q85
The d-electron configuration of [Ru(en)3 ]Cl2 and [Fe(H2O)6]Cl2 , respectively are :
A t2g4eg2t_{2g}^4e_g^2 and t2g6eg0t_{2g}^6e_g^0
B t2g6eg0t_{2g}^6e_g^0 and t2g6eg0t_{2g}^6e_g^0
C t2g6eg0t_{2g}^6e_g^0 and t2g4eg2t_{2g}^4e_g^2
D t2g4eg2t_{2g}^4e_g^2 and t2g4eg2t_{2g}^4e_g^2
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

[Ru(en)3 ]Cl2 : Here CN = 6 so octahedral splitting happens. 'en' is strong field ligand so

Δ\Delta

0 > P(pairing energy). That is why pairing of electrons happens.

Δ\Delta

0 = Energy gap between eg and t2g orbital.

[Fe(H2O)6]Cl2 : Here CN = 6 so octahedral splitting happens.

H2O is weak field ligand so

Δ\Delta

0 < P(pairing energy). That is why no pairing of electrons happens.

Δ\Delta

0 = Energy gap between eg and t2g orbital.

Q86
The electronic spectrum of [Ti(H2O)6]3+ shows a single broad peak with a maximum at 20,300 cm-1 . The crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) of the complex ion, in kJ mol-1, is :
A 83.7
B 242.5
C 145.5
D 97
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

[Ti(H2O)6]3+ Ti = [Ar]3d24s2 Ti+3 = [Ar]3d1 For octahedral Crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) = (-0.4

Δ\Delta

0) ×\times nt2g + (+0.6

Δ\Delta

0) ×\times neg + np nt2g = number of electrons in t2g orbital neg = number of electrons in eg orbital n = number of extra pairs p = Pairing energy Here nt2g = 1 neg = 0 n = 0 ( For weak field ligands n always zero.

Here H2O is weak field ligand) \therefore Crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) = (-0.4

Δ\Delta

0) ×\times 1 + (+0.6

Δ\Delta

0) ×\times 0 + 0×\timesP = -0.4

Δ\Delta

0 = –0.4 × 20300 = –8120 cm–1 CFSE (in kJ) =

812083.7{{8120} \over {83.7}}

= 97 kJ/mol

Q87
The complex that can show optical activity is :
A cis-[Fe(NH3)2(CN)4]–
B trans-[Cr(Cl2)(ox)2]3–
C trans-[Fe(NH3)2(CN)4]–
D cis-[CrCl2(ox)2]3– (ox = oxalate)
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

It does not have symmetry, so, optically active.

Q88
The one that is not expected to show isomerism is :
A [Pt(NH3)2Cl2]
B [Ni(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+
C [Ni(en)3]2+
D [Ni(NH3)2Cl2]
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] is dsp2 hybridisation and shows geometrical isomerism.

[Ni(NH3)4(H2O)2]2+ is Octahedral, show geometrical isomerism.

[Ni(en)3]2+ is Octahedral and shows optical isomerism.

[Ni(NH3)2Cl2] is sp3 hybridisation and tetrahedral complex, therefore does not show geometrical and optical isomerism and structural isomerism.

Q89
The one that can exhibit highest paramagnetic behaviour among the following is : gly = glycinato; bpy = 2, 2'-bipyridine
A [Fe(en)(bpy)(NH3)2]2+
B [Pd(gly)2]
C [Co(OX)2(OH)2]– (Δ\Delta 0 > P)
D [Ti(NH3)6]3+
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

[Co(OX)2(OH)2]– (As here

Δ\Delta

0 > P so those ligands act as strong field ligand and pairing happens.) 27Co+5 = [18Ar] 3d4 4s0(

t2g2,1,1,eg0,0t_{2g}^{2,1,1},e_g^{0,0}

) It has highest number of unpaired e– s. so it is most paramagnetic.

Q90
The molecule in which hybrid MOs involve only one d-orbital of the central atom is :
A XeF4
B [Ni(CN)4]2–
C [CrF6]3–
D BrF5

Option B
Solution

XeF4 = sp3d2 [Ni(CN)4]2– = dsp2 [CrF6]3– = d2sp2 BrF5 = sp3d2
