Given below are two statements : In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
  2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
  3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
  4. Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Answer

(4) Statement I is true but Statement II is false

Solution

Statement I:

[Cu(NH3)4]2+: Cu2+, 3d9 1 unpaired electron

[Ni(en)3]2+ and [Ni(NH3)6]2+: Ni2+, 3d8, octahedral (sp3d2) 2 unpaired electrons each

[Mn(H2O)6]2+: Mn2+, 3d5, H2O is a weak field ligand (high spin) 5 unpaired electrons

[Mn(H2O)6]2+ has the maximum number of unpaired electrons. Statement I is true.

Statement II:

[NiCl4]2-: Ni2+ (3d8), Cl- is weak, sp3, tetrahedral 2 unpaired electrons, paramagnetic

[Ni(CO)4]: Ni(0), 3d10, sp3 diamagnetic

[Ni(CN)4]2-: Ni2+ (3d8), CN- is strong, electrons paired, dsp2, square planar diamagnetic

Only the pair \ [Ni(CO)4], [Ni(CN)4]2-\ contains only diamagnetic species; the number of such pairs is one, not two. Statement II is false.

Answer: (4)
