Rajeev Saxena answered |
In this complex compound the total charge is +3 as H2O is a neutral compound so the oxidation state of cobalt is +3 and the electronic configuration of Co is 3d7 4s2. So, Co(+3)=4d6 and H2O is a weak ligand so there is no pairing of electron. So,4s 4p3 and 4d2 orbital make hybrid orbital to have a hybridization of d2sp3.

Arka Das answered |
Explanation:
In the formation of a complex entity, a central atom/ion acts as a Lewis acid. This can be explained as follows:
Lewis Acid and Lewis Base:
According to Lewis acid-base theory, a Lewis acid is a species that accepts a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond, while a Lewis base is a species that donates a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond.
Formation of Complex Entity:
A complex entity is formed by the coordination of a central atom/ion with one or more ligands. Ligands are molecules or ions that donate a pair of electrons to the central atom/ion to form a coordinate covalent bond.
Role of Central Atom/Ion:
In the formation of a complex entity, the central atom/ion acts as a Lewis acid because it accepts a pair of electrons from the ligands to form a coordinate covalent bond. The central atom/ion has an incomplete outer shell, which makes it electron deficient and thus able to accept electrons from other species.
Examples:
Some examples of complex entities and their central atom/ion are as follows:
- In [Fe(CN)6]4-, Fe2+ acts as the central ion, which accepts electrons from the CN- ligands.
- In [Cu(NH3)4]2+, Cu2+ acts as the central ion, which accepts electrons from the NH3 ligands.
- In [Ag(NH3)2]+, Ag+ acts as the central ion, which accepts electrons from the NH3 ligands.
Conclusion:
Thus, we can conclude that in the formation of a complex entity, the central atom/ion acts as a Lewis acid because it accepts a pair of electrons from the ligands to form a coordinate covalent bond.

Explanation:
Diamagnetic substances are those which do not have any unpaired electrons and are not attracted by a magnetic field. On the other hand, paramagnetic substances have unpaired electrons and are attracted by a magnetic field.
Let's examine the given options to determine which one is diamagnetic.
[CoF6]3-
Cobalt has 27 electrons. In this complex, cobalt is in the +3 oxidation state. The six fluoride ions act as ligands and each donate one pair of electrons to the cobalt ion. The complex has a total of 33 electrons, and there are three unpaired electrons in the d-orbitals of the cobalt ion. Therefore, [CoF6]3- is a paramagnetic complex.
[Ni(CN)4]2-
Nickel has 28 electrons. In this complex, nickel is in the +2 oxidation state. The four cyanide ions act as ligands and each donate one pair of electrons to the nickel ion. The complex has a total of 34 electrons, and all the electrons are paired. Therefore, [Ni(CN)4]2- is a diamagnetic complex.
[NiCl4]2-
Similar to the above complex, nickel has 28 electrons and is in the +2 oxidation state. The four chloride ions act as ligands and each donate one pair of electrons to the nickel ion. The complex has a total of 32 electrons, and all the electrons are paired. Therefore, [NiCl4]2- is a diamagnetic complex.
[Fe(CN)6]3-
Iron has 26 electrons. In this complex, iron is in the +3 oxidation state. The six cyanide ions act as ligands and each donate one pair of electrons to the iron ion. The complex has a total of 32 electrons, and there are five unpaired electrons in the d-orbitals of the iron ion. Therefore, [Fe(CN)6]3- is a paramagnetic complex.
Therefore, the diamagnetic complex among the given options is [Ni(CN)4]2-.

Complex carbonyls follow Sidwick's EAN rule i.e compound with EAN 36 will be relatively more stable than other metal carbonyls. Iron pentacarbonyl has EAN number of 36 = Z−X+Y = (26−0+2x)
[Z = atomic number, X = oxidation state of metal, Y= total electrons donated by ligand]
∴x = 5. So, the formula will be Fe(CO)5.
[Z = atomic number, X = oxidation state of metal, Y= total electrons donated by ligand]
∴x = 5. So, the formula will be Fe(CO)5.

Explanation:
The complex ion dichlorido bis(ethylene diamine) cobalt (III) has the formula [Co(en)2Cl2]+. Let's analyze the structure and isomers of this complex ion to determine the correct statement.
Structure:
The central cobalt (III) ion is coordinated by two ethylenediamine (en) ligands and two chloride (Cl) ligands. The ethylenediamine ligand is a bidentate ligand, meaning that it can form two coordination bonds with the central metal ion. The chloride ligand is a monodentate ligand, meaning that it can form only one coordination bond with the central metal ion.
Isomers:
Isomers are compounds that have the same chemical formula but different structural arrangements. In this case, there are three possible isomers for the complex ion [Co(en)2Cl2]+.
1. Geometrical isomerism:
Geometrical isomerism occurs when there is restricted rotation around a bond, resulting in different spatial arrangements. In the case of [Co(en)2Cl2]+, there are two possible geometrical isomers:
- cis-[Co(en)2Cl2]+: In this isomer, the two ethylenediamine ligands are adjacent to each other, and the two chloride ligands are also adjacent to each other.
- trans-[Co(en)2Cl2]+: In this isomer, the two ethylenediamine ligands are opposite to each other, and the two chloride ligands are also opposite to each other.
2. Optical isomerism:
Optical isomerism occurs when a compound is chiral, meaning it does not possess a plane of symmetry. Chiral compounds exist in two forms known as enantiomers, which are mirror images of each other. In the case of [Co(en)2Cl2]+, there is only one chiral center, which is the cobalt ion.
- Each geometrical isomer can exist as either an R or S enantiomer, resulting in two optically active isomers.
- The trans-[Co(en)2Cl2]+ isomer is optically inactive because its mirror image can be superimposed on it.
Conclusion:
Based on the analysis, the correct statement is option A. The complex ion dichlorido bis(ethylene diamine) cobalt (III) has three isomers, two of them are optically active (cis-[Co(en)2Cl2]+ R and S enantiomers) and one is optically inactive (trans-[Co(en)2Cl2]+).

Rutuja Ahuja answered |
The correct option is B Potassium pentachloro(phenyl) antimonate(V)
IUPAC naming of coordination compound:
The names of coordination compounds are derived by the following principles of nomenclature,
1. The cation is named first in both positively and negatively charged coordination entities.
2. The ligands are named in an alphabetical order before the name of the central atom/ion.
3. When coordination entity is anionic, the name of central metal atom end with 'ate' followed by its oxidation number in roman numericals.
In given compound, the charge on coordination entity is -1.
Cl− and phenyl are monodentate anionic ligand.
Thus, the oxidation state of Sb is +5.
Hence, the IUPAC name of the compound K[SbCl5Ph] is Potassium pentachloro(phenyl)antimonate(V)

he porphyrin ring contains pyrrote unit are linked by four (—CH =)bridges. Porphyrine are derived from porphin, varying according to the nature of substituents. Porphyrin ring act as tetradentate ligands with four pyrole like nitrogens surrounding a central site of metals.. Iron complex of the substituted porphin is here. When magnesium lie at the centre of substituted porphin ring; the resulting complex is called chlorophyll.
