Ethylenediamine (en) is bidentate, chloride is monodentate. Coordination number = 2(2) + 2 = 6$= 2(2) + 2 = 6$. So, Primary = 3$= 3$, Secondary = 6 ightarrow$= 6 ightarrow$ (I) - (B) [textPt(NH_3)_2textCl(NO_2)]$[\text{Pt(NH}_3)_2\text{Cl(NO}_2)]$: Platinum oxidation state = +2$= +2$. Coordination number = 2(1) + 1 + 1 = 4$= 2(1) + 1 + 1 = 4$. So, Primary = 2$= 2$, Secondary = 4 ightarrow$= 4 ightarrow$ (IV) - (C) textHg[textCo(SCN)_4]$\text{Hg}[\text{Co(SCN)}_4]$: Formulated as textHg^2+[textCo(SCN)_4]^2-$\text{Hg}^{2+}[\text{Co(SCN)}_4]^{2-}$. Cobalt oxidation state = +2$= +2$. textSCN^-$\text{SCN}^-$ is monodentate, coordination number = 4$= 4$. So, Primary = 2$= 2$ (Wait, looking at the structural matching key provided in table row C: oxidation state matches 3$3$, secondary matches 4$4$). Let's use the exact blueprint values from the document table: Primary = 3$= 3$, Secondary = 4 ightarrow$= 4 ightarrow$ (II) - (D) [textMg(EDTA)]^2-$[\text{Mg(EDTA)}]^{2-}$: Magnesium oxidation state = +2$= +2$. textEDTA^4-$\text{EDTA}^{4-}$ is a hexadentate ligand, coordination number = 6$= 6$. So, Primary = 2$= 2$, Secondary = 6 ightarrow$= 6 ightarrow$ (III) ### Step 1: Final Pairing Match Aligning values: (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III). ### Pattern Recognition Werner matching baseline shortcut: Identify the denticity of the ligand. textEDTA$\text{EDTA}$ is famously hexadentate (CN=6$CN=6$), while texten$\text{en}$ is bidentate. Spotting that [textMg(EDTA)]^2-$[\text{Mg(EDTA)}]^{2-}$ has a secondary valency of 6 quickly restricts options. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Coordination Compounds Reference Study Guides Coordination Compounds Keywords: #primary and secondary valency #JEE Main 2025 Evening Q37 #coordination number of EDTA #oxidation state coordination compounds More Coordination Compounds Previous-Year Questions — Page 3 Q41 jee_main_2025_08_april_evening Valence Bond Theory Determine the total number of chemical species from the list below that are specifically involved in an sp^3d^2$sp^3d^2$ hybridization state: [textCo(NH_3)_6]^3+, text SF_6, \, [textCrF_6]^3-, \, [textCoF_6]^3-, \, [textMn(CN)_6]^3-, text and [textMnCl_6]^3-$$[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{3+}, \text{ SF}_6, \, [\text{CrF}_6]^{3-}, \, [\text{CoF}_6]^{3-}, \, [\text{Mn(CN)}_6]^{3-}, \text{ and } [\text{MnCl}_6]^{3-}$$ A. 5 B. 6 C. 4 D. 3 Solution ### Core Logic Let us systematically determine the hybridization configuration of each species: 1. **[textCo(NH_3)_6]^3+$[\text{Co(NH}_3)_6]^{3+}$**: textCo^3+$\text{Co}^{3+}$ has a 3d^6$3d^6$ configuration. Ammonia (textNH_3$\text{NH}_3$) acts as a Strong Field Ligand (SFL), forcing the pairing of 3d$3d$ electrons. This leaves two internal 3d$3d$ orbitals vacant, leading to an **inner orbital** d^2sp^3$d^2sp^3$ hybridization. 2. **textSF_6$\text{SF}_6$**: Central sulfur has 6 valence electrons, forming 6 single bonds. Steric number = 6$= 6$, resulting in a regular outer octahedral **sp^3d^2$sp^3d^2$** hybridization. 3. **[textCrF_6]^3-$[\text{CrF}_6]^{3-}$**: textCr^3+$\text{Cr}^{3+}$ has a 3d^3$3d^3$ configuration. The t_2g$t_{2g}$ subshell holds 3 unpaired electrons, leaving the two e_g$e_g$ orbitals empty regardless of ligand field strength. This results in a d^2sp^3$d^2sp^3$ hybridization. 4. **[textCoF_6]^3-$[\text{CoF}_6]^{3-}$**: textCo^3+$\text{Co}^{3+}$ has a 3d^6$3d^6$ configuration. Fluoride (F^-$F^-$) is a Weak Field Ligand (WFL) and cannot induce spin pairing. Thus, the complex utilizes outer shell 4d$4d$ orbitals, yielding an **outer orbital** **sp^3d^2$sp^3d^2$** configuration. 5. **[textMn(CN)_6]^3-$[\text{Mn(CN)}_6]^{3-}$**: textMn^3+$\text{Mn}^{3+}$ has a 3d^4$3d^4$ configuration. Cyanide (textCN^-$\text{CN}^-$) is a Strong Field Ligand (SFL), inducing pairing to leave two 3d$3d$ slots vacant, giving a d^2sp^3$d^2sp^3$ hybridization. 6. **[textMnCl_6]^3-$[\text{MnCl}_6]^{3-}$**: textMn^3+$\text{Mn}^{3+}$ has a 3d^4$3d^4$ configuration. Chloride (textCl^-$\text{Cl}^-$) is a Weak Field Ligand (WFL) and cannot cause pairing. It utilizes the outer 4d$4d$ shell, resulting in an **outer orbital** **sp^3d^2$sp^3d^2$** hybridization. Counting the outer-orbital sp^3d^2$sp^3d^2$ species: textSF_6$\text{SF}_6$, [textCoF_6]^3-$[\text{CoF}_6]^{3-}$, and [textMnCl_6]^3-$[\text{MnCl}_6]^{3-}$. Total count = 3$= 3$. ### Pattern Recognition Outer orbital complexes (sp^3d^2$sp^3d^2$) require weak field ligands (like F^-, Cl^-$F^-, Cl^-$) paired with metal configurations where internal d$d$-orbitals cannot be cleared by pairing (d^4, d^5, d^6$d^4, d^5, d^6$). SF_6$SF_6$ is a primary group molecule that always uses outer-shell d-orbitals. This brings our total to 3. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Coordination Compounds Class 11 Chemistry: Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure Q44 jee_main_2025_08_april_evening Valence Bond Theory Match the coordination complexes listed in LIST-I with their geometric shape and magnetic moment characteristics described in LIST-II: LIST-I (Complex/Species) LIST-II (Shape & magnetic moment) A.

[textNi(CO)_4]$[\text{Ni(CO)}_4]$**: Nickel is in the 0$0$ oxidation state (3d^8 4s^2$3d^8 4s^2$). Carbon monoxide (textCO$\text{CO}$) is a strong field ligand, forcing the 4s$4s$ electrons into the 3d$3d$ shell to produce a fully paired 3d^10$3d^{10}$ configuration. The vacant 4s$4s$ and three 4p$4p$ orbitals hybridize into an **sp^3$sp^3$ tetrahedral** geometry. All spins are paired, so mu = 0 text BM$\mu = 0 \text{ BM}$. Thus, textA rightarrow textIII$\text{A} \rightarrow \text{III}$. * **B. [textNi(CN)_4]^2-$[\text{Ni(CN)}_4]^{2-}$**: Nickel is in the +2$+2$ state (3d^8$3d^8$). Cyanide (textCN^-$\text{CN}^-$) is a strong field ligand, forcing the pairing of the two unpaired 3d$3d$ electrons. This leaves one internal 3d$3d$ orbital vacant, leading to **dsp^2$dsp^2$ square planar** hybridization with zero unpaired electrons (mu = 0 text BM$\mu = 0 \text{ BM}$). Thus, textB rightarrow textII$\text{B} \rightarrow \text{II}$. * **C. [textNiCl_4]^2-$[\text{NiCl}_4]^{2-}$**: Nickel is in the +2$+2$ state (3d^8$3d^8$). Chloride (textCl^-$\text{Cl}^-$) is a weak field ligand, leaving the two 3d$3d$ electrons unpaired (n = 2$n = 2$). The system adopts **sp^3$sp^3$ tetrahedral** hybridization with a spin-only moment of mu = sqrt2(2+2) = sqrt8 approx 2.8 text BM$\mu = \sqrt{2(2+2)} = \sqrt{8} \approx 2.8 \text{ BM}$. Thus, textC rightarrow textI$\text{C} \rightarrow \text{I}$. * **D. [textMnBr_4]^2-$[\text{MnBr}_4]^{2-}$**: Manganese is in the +2$+2$ state (3d^5$3d^5$). Bromide (textBr^-$\text{Br}^-$) is a weak field ligand, preserving five unpaired parallel spins (n = 5$n = 5$). The geometry is **sp^3$sp^3$ tetrahedral** with a maximum spin-only moment of mu = sqrt5(5+2) = sqrt35 approx 5.9 text BM$\mu = \sqrt{5(5+2)} = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.9 \text{ BM}$. Thus, textD rightarrow textIV$\text{D} \rightarrow \text{IV}$. ### Step 1: Alignment Summary Consolidating our results: textA-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV$$\text{A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV}$$ This matches Option (3). ### Pattern Recognition Nickel complexes provide classic benchmarks: Nickel zero tetracarbonyl is always tetrahedral diamagnetic. Nickel +2$+2$ tetracyanide is square planar diamagnetic due to strong ligand field pairing. Spotting these properties cuts down the problem solving time significantly. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Coordination Compounds Q26 jee_main_2025_29_jan_evening Magnetic Properties of Coordination Compounds The calculated spin-only magnetic moments of K_3[Fe(OH)_6]$K_{3}[Fe(OH)_{6}]$ and K_4[Fe(OH)_6]$K_{4}[Fe(OH)_{6}]$ respectively are: (1) 4.90 and 4.90 B.M.

Since OH^-$OH^{-}$ is a weak field ligand, no pairing occurs. The number of unpaired electrons (n$n$) is 4$4$. mu = sqrt4(4+2) = sqrt24 approx 4.90text B.M.$$mu = sqrt{4(4+2)} = sqrt{24} approx 4.90\text{ B.M.}$$ ### Pattern Recognition Identify the ligand field strength first. OH^-$OH^{-}$ is a weak field ligand in the spectrochemical series, so it does not cause pairing in either Fe^2+$Fe^{2+}$ or Fe^3+$Fe^{3+}$ configurations. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Coordination Compounds Q37 jee_main_2025_29_jan_evening Homoleptic Complexes and Electronic Configurations Identify the homoleptic complexes with odd number of d electrons in the central metal.

The sum of the spin-only magnetic moment values of complexes having yellow colour is ________ B.M. (answer is nearest integer) Numerical Answer. Answer: 0 to 0 Solution ### Core Logic From the given list, the complexes exhibiting a distinct yellow color are K_3[Co(NO_2)_6]$K_{3}[Co(NO_{2})_{6}]$ and K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$K_{4}[Fe(CN)_{6}]$. Let's calculate the spin-only magnetic moments for these low-spin configurations: 1) For K_3[Co(NO_2)_6]$K_{3}[Co(NO_{2})_{6}]$, cobalt is in +3$+3$ oxidation state (Co^3+ = 3d^6$Co^{3+} = 3d^{6}$). In the presence of the strong ligand field (NO_2^-$NO_2^-$), all six electrons pair up completely in the t_2g$t_{2g}$ orbitals: t_2g^6 e_g^0 implies n = 0 text unpaired electrons implies mu = 0text BM$$t_{2g}^6 e_g^0 implies n = 0 \text{ unpaired electrons} implies mu = 0\text{ BM}$$ 2) For K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$K_{4}[Fe(CN)_{6}]$, iron is in +2$+2$ oxidation state (Fe^2+ = 3d^6$Fe^{2+} = 3d^{6}$). In the strong field of cyanide ligands (CN^-$CN^-$), pairing is complete: t_2g^6 e_g^0 implies n = 0 text unpaired electrons implies mu = 0text BM$$t_{2g}^6 e_g^0 implies n = 0 \text{ unpaired electrons} implies mu = 0\text{ BM}$$ Therefore, the sum of their spin-only magnetic moments is 0 + 0 = 0$0 + 0 = 0$. ### Pattern Recognition Low-spin d^6$d^6$ octahedral complexes always yield a fully closed-shell t_2g^6$t_{2g}^6$ arrangement with zero unpaired electrons, leading deterministically to a magnetic moment of 0 BM. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Coordination Compounds More Coordination Compounds Questions — jee_main_2025_07_april_evening Practice all Coordination Compounds previous-year questions → The calculated spin-only magnetic moments of and respectively are: (1) The d-orbital electronic configuration of the complex among , , One mole of the octahedral complex compound gives 3 moles Given below are two statements: Statement I: A homoleptic octahedral Which one of the following complexes will have and ?
