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

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

Answer

(1) Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Solution

Statement I: the third valence electron is removed from the M2+ ion.

Sc2+ (3d1) → Sc3+ gains the stable noble-gas configuration ⇒ lowest (2389 kJ mol-1).

Zn2+ (3d10) – electron removed from a stable, completely filled d subshell ⇒ highest (3833 kJ mol-1); Mn 3248, Cu 3554.

⇒ Statement I is true.

Statement II: o increases with the charge on the metal ion and with the field strength of the ligand (en > H2O).

⇒ CFSE: [Co(H2O)6]2+ < [Co(H2O)6]3+ < [Co(en)3]3+ ⇒ Statement II is true.

Answer: (1)
