1.
The highest value of the calculated spin only magnetic moment ( in $$BM$$ ) among all the transition metal complexes is:
A
5.92
B
6.93
C
3.87
D
4.90
Answer :
5.92
Magnetic moment, $$\sqrt {n\left( {n + 2} \right)} = BM$$ ( where, $$n=$$ no. of unpaired electrons )
As transition metal atom/ion in a complex may have unpaired electrons ranging from zero to $$5.$$ So, maximum number of unpaired electrons that may be present in a complex is $$5.$$
∴ Maximum value of magnetic moment among all the transition metal complexes is
$$ = \sqrt {5\left( {5 + 2} \right)} = \sqrt {35} = 5.92\,BM$$
2.
The coordination number and the oxidation state of the element $$'E'$$ in the complex $$\left[ {E{{\left( {en} \right)}_2}\left( {{C_2}{O_4}} \right)} \right]N{O_2}$$ (where $$\left( {en} \right)$$ is ethylene diamine) are, respectively,
A
6 and 2
B
4 and 2
C
4 and 3
D
6 and 3
Answer :
6 and 3
In the given complex we have two bidentate ligands $$\left( {{\text{i}}{\text{.e}}\,{\text{en}}\,{\text{and}}\,{C_2}{O_4}} \right),$$ so coordination number of $$E$$ is 6
$$\left( {2 \times 2 + 1 \times 2 = 6} \right)$$
Let the oxidation state of $$E$$ in complex be $$x$$, then
$$\left[ {x + \left( { - 2} \right) = 1} \right]\,{\text{or}}\,x - 2 = 1$$
or $$x = + 3,$$ so its oxidation state is $$ + 3$$
Thus option (D) is correct.
3.
The correct statement about the magnetic properties of $${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ and $${\left[ {Fe{F_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ is $$\left( {Z = 26} \right):$$
A
both are paramagnetic.
B
both are diamagnetic.
C
$${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ is diamagnetic, $${\left[ {Fe{F_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ is paramagnetic.
D
$${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ is paramagnetic, $${\left[ {Fe{F_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ is diamagnetic.
Answer :
both are paramagnetic.
Both are paramagnetic, the only difference is that $$C{N^ - }$$ is a strong field ligand whereas $${F^ - }$$ is a weak field ligand.
4.
The number of ions given by $$\left[ {Pt{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_6}} \right]C{l_4}$$ in aqueous solution will be
A
two
B
three
C
five
D
eleven
Answer :
five
$$\left[ {Pt{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_6}} \right]C{l_4} \rightleftharpoons $$ $${\left[ {Pt{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_6}} \right]^{4 + }} + 4C{l^ - }$$
Total number of ions given in aqueous solution = 5
5.
$$AgCl$$ is soluble in $$N{H_4}OH$$ solution. The solubility is due to formation of
A
$$AgOH$$
B
$$A{g_2}O$$
C
$${\left[ {Ag{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_2}} \right]^ + }$$
$$AgCl$$ form soluble complex with $$N{H_4}OH$$ which is $${\left[ {Ag{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_2}} \right]^ + }.$$
6.
Among the following which is not the $$\pi $$ - bonded organometallic compound ?
A
$$K\left[ {PtC{l_3}\left( {{\eta ^2} - {C_2}{H_4}} \right)} \right]$$
B
$$Fe{\left( {{\eta ^5} - {C_5}{H_5}} \right)_2}$$
C
$$Cr{\left( {{\eta ^6} - {C_6}{H_6}} \right)_2}$$
D
$${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_4}Sn$$
Answer :
$${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_4}Sn$$
In $${\left( {C{H_3}} \right)_4}Sn$$ ( organometallic compounds of tin ) single bonds are present in form of sigma bond. $$pi$$ - bonded organometallic compound inclides alkenes, alkynes and some other carbon containing compounds having $$pi$$ - electrons in their molecular orbitals.
7.
Which of the following statements is true?
A
$$\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CO} \right)}_4}} \right]$$ is high spin complex.
B
Weak ligands like $${F^ - },C{l^ - }$$ and $$O{H^ - }$$ usually form low spin complexes.
C
$${\left[ {Fe{F_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ is a high spin complex .
D
Strong ligand like $$C{N^ - }$$ and $$NO_2^ - ,$$ generally form high spin complexes.
Answer :
$${\left[ {Fe{F_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$$ is a high spin complex .
Weak field ligands like $${F^ - },C{l^ - }$$ and $$O{H^ - }$$ usually form high spin complexes and strong field ligands like $$C{N^ - }$$ and $$NO_2^ - $$ usually form low spin complexes. $$\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CO} \right)}_4}} \right]$$ is a low spin complex.
8.
The one that will show optical activity is:
$$\left( {{\text{en }} = {\text{ethane }}1,{\text{ }}2 - {\text{diamine}}} \right){\text{ }}$$
A
B
C
D
Answer :
No plane of symmetry or centre of symmetry
Hence it is optically active.
9.
The correct increasing order of trans-effect of the following species is
$$Trans$$ effect is the effect of a coordinated group upon the rate of substitution at the position trans to itself in a square or octahedral complex. As the rate of substitution of the $$trans$$ ligand increases, the intensity of $$trans$$ effect also increases. Thus, correct order is, $$C{N^ - } > {C_6}H_5^ - > B{r^ - } > N{H_3}$$
