JEE Advanced (Matrix Match): The d & f-Block Elements & Coordination Compounds | Chapter-wise Tests for JEE Main & Advanced PDF Download

DIRECTIONS (Q. No. 1 and 2) : Each question contains statements given in two columns, which have to be matched. The statements in Column-I are labelled A, B, C and D, while the statements in Column-II are labelled p, q, r, s and t. Any given statement in Column-I can have correct matching with ONE OR MORE statement(s) in Column-II. The appropriate bubbles corresponding to the answers to these questions have to be darkened as illustrated in the following example :

If the correct matches are A-p, s and t; B-q and r; C-p and q; and D-s then the correct darkening of bubbles will look like the given.

Q.1. Match the complexes in Column I with their properties listed in Column II.

Column I                                           Column II

(A) [Co(NH₃)₄(H₂O)₂]Cl₂                (p) geometrical isomers

(B) [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂]                              (q) paramagnetic

(C) [Co(H₂O)₅Cl]Cl                           (r) diamagnetic

(D) [Ni(H₂O)₆]Cl₂                              (s) metal ion with +2 oxidation state

Ans. (A - p, q, s); (B - p, r, s); (C - q, s); (D - q, s)

Solution. In [Co(NH₃)₄(H₂O)₂]²⁺, Co is in + 2 state having 3d⁷ configuration, which makes it paramagentic due to odd electrons. Moreover, it is an octahedral complex showing cis-trans isomerism w.r.t., H₂O.

(B) : (p), (r) and (s) 

In [Pt (NH₃)Cl₂], Pt is in + 2 state with configuration 5d⁸.
Since NH₃ is a strong field ligand, it will pair all the electrons making the complex diamagnetic. Moreover, it is a square planar complex showing cis-trans isomerism.

(C) : (q) and (s) In [Co(H₂O)₅Cl]Cl, Co is in + 2 state with 3d⁷ configuration making it paramagnetic.

(D) : (q) and (s) In [Ni(H₂O)₆]Cl₂, Ni is in + 2 state with 3d⁸ configuration. It is attached with weak field ligands, therefore it is paramagnetic.

Q.2. Match each of the reactions given in Column I with the corresponding product(s) given in Column II.

ColumnI                                                         Column II

(A) Cu + dil HNO₃                                           (p) NO

(B) Cu + conc HNO₃                                        (q) NO₂

(C) Zn + dil HNO₃                                            (r) N₂O

(D) Zn + conc HNO₃                                         (s) Cu (NO₃)₂

                                                                          (t) Zn(NO₃)₂

Ans. (A - p, s); (B - q, s); (C - r, t); (D - q, t)

Solution.

List-I                                                         List-II

P. [Cr(NH₃)₄Cl₂]Cl                                   1. Paramagnetic and exhibits ionisation isomerism

Q. [Ti(H₂O)₅Cl](NO₃)₂                             2. Diamagnetic and exhibits cis-trans isomerism
