An octahedral complex with molecular composition $$M.5{\text{ }}N{H_3}.Cl.S{O_4}$$ has two isomers, $$A$$ and $$B.$$ The solution of $$A$$ gives a white precipitate with $$AgN{O_3}$$ solution and the solution of $$B$$ gives white precipitate with $$BaC{l_2}$$ solution. The type of isomerism exhibited by the complex is :
A
Linkage isomerism
B
Ionisation isomerism
C
Coordinate isomerism
D
Geometrical isomerism
Answer :
Ionisation isomerism
The two possible isomers for the given octahedral complex are $$\left[ {M{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_5}S{O_4}} \right]Cl$$ and $$\left[ {M{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_5}Cl} \right]S{O_4}.$$ They respectively give chloride ion ( indicated by precipitation with $$BaC{l_2}$$ ) and $$S{O_4}{\text{ }}ion$$ ( indicated by precipitation with $$AgN{O_3}$$ ). Hence the type of isomerism exhibited by the complex is ionization isomerism.

The correct order of ligands in the trans-directing series is
The trans-effect may be defined as the labelization of ligands trans- to the other trans-directing ligand.
[ Note : The order of ligands in the trans-directing series is as follows :
$$C{N^ - } \sim CO \sim NO \sim {H^ - } > $$ $$CH_3^ - \sim SC{\left( {N{H_2}} \right)_2} \sim $$ $$P{R_3} > S{O_3}H > NO_2^ - \sim {I^ - }$$ $$ \sim SC{N^ - } > B{r^ - } > $$ $$C{l^ - } > Py > RN{H_2} \sim N{H_3} > $$ $$O{H^ - } > {H_2}O\,]$$
173.
In which of the following complex hybridization of central metal is not same as that of donor atom of ligand
A
$$\left[ {Ni{{\left( {P{F_3}} \right)}_4}} \right]$$
B
$$\left[ {Fe{{\left( {dmg} \right)}_2}} \right]$$
C
$${\left[ {Zn{{\left( {en} \right)}_2}} \right]^{2 + }}$$
D
$${\left[ {Ni{{\left( {PM{e_3}} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 + }}$$

In $$\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_6}} \right]C{l_3},$$ the number of covalent bonds is
A
3
B
6
C
9
D
18
Answer :
18
The number of ammonia molecules is 6. Each ammonia molecule contains 3 covalent bonds between $$N$$ and $$H.$$ Therefore the number of covalent bonds is 18.
175.
Relative to the average energy in the spherical crystal field, the $${t_{2g}}$$ orbitals is tetrahedral field is
A
$${\text{Raised by}}\left( {\frac{2}{5}} \right){\Delta _t}$$
B
$${\text{Lowered by }}\left( {\frac{2}{5}} \right){\Delta _t}$$
C
$${\text{Raised by}}\,\left( {\frac{3}{5}} \right){\Delta _t}$$
D
$${\text{Lowered by}}\,\left( {\frac{1}{5}} \right){\Delta _t}$$
$${t_{2g}}$$ orbitals have higher energy by $$\left( {\frac{2}{5}} \right){\Delta _t}.$$

C
potassium nitritopentacyanoferrate(IV)
D

The $$d$$ electron configurations of $$C{r^{2 + }},M{n^{2 + }},F{e^{2 + }}$$ and $$N{i^{2 + }}$$ are $$3{d^4},3{d^5},3{d^6}$$ and $$3{d^8}$$ respectively. Which one of the following aqua complexes will exhibit the minimum paramagnetic behaviour ?
$$\left( {{\text{At}}{\text{. no}}{\text{. of}}\,\,Cr = 24,Mn = 25,} \right.$$ $$\left. {Fe = 26,Ni = 28} \right)$$
A
$${\left[ {Fe{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}$$
B
$${\left[ {Ni{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}$$
C
$${\left[ {Cr{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}$$
D
$${\left[ {Mn{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}$$
As the number of unpaired electron increases, the magnetic moment increases and hence, the paramagnetic behaviour increases.
So, $$C{r^{2 + }}\left( {22} \right) = 3{d^4}$$ ( 4 unpaired electrons )
$$M{n^{2 + }}\left( {23} \right) = 3{d^5}$$ ( 5 unpaired electrons )
$$F{e^{2 + }}\left( {24} \right) = 3{d^6}$$ ( 4 unpaired electrons )
$$N{i^{2 + }}\left( {26} \right) = 3{d^8}$$ ( 2 unpaired electrons )
So, $${\left[ {Ni{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}$$ exhibit minimum paramagnetic behaviour.

The geometry possessed by $$\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CO} \right)}_4}} \right]$$ is
A
tetrahedral
B
square planar
C
linear
D
octahedral
Answer :
tetrahedral
In $$\left[ {Ni{{\left( {CO} \right)}_4}} \right],$$ oxidation state of $$Ni = 0$$
It has tetrahedral shape.

An octahedral complex of $$C{o^{3 + }}$$ is diamagnetic. The hybridisation involved in the formation of the complex is :
A
$$s{p^3}{d^2}$$
B
$$ds{p^2}$$
C
$${d^2}s{p^3}$$
D
$$s{p^3}d$$
Answer :
$${d^2}s{p^3}$$
$${\left[ {Co{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 + }}$$
Octahedral and Diamagnetic
