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 Q44 2025 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 2025 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.

Solution ### Related Formula mu = sqrtn(n+2)text B.M.$mu = sqrt{n(n+2)}\text{ B.M.}$ ### Core Logic In K_3[Fe(OH)_6]$K_{3}[Fe(OH)_{6}]$, iron is in the +3$+3$ oxidation state (Fe^3+ = 3d^5$Fe^{3+} = 3d^{5}$). Since OH^-$OH^{-}$ is a weak field ligand, no pairing of electrons takes place. The number of unpaired electrons (n$n$) is 5$5$. mu = sqrt5(5+2) = sqrt35 approx 5.92text B.M.$mu = sqrt{5(5+2)} = sqrt{35} approx 5.92\text{ B.M.}$ In K_4[Fe(OH)_6]$K_{4}[Fe(OH)_{6}]$, iron is in the +2$+2$ oxidation state (Fe^2+ = 3d^6$Fe^{2+} = 3d^{6}$). 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 2025 Homoleptic Complexes and Electronic Configurations Identify the homoleptic complexes with odd number of d electrons in the central metal.

(B) and (D) only B. (C) and (E) only C. (A), (B) and (D) only D. (A), (C) and (E) only Solution ### Core Logic A complex is homoleptic if the metal is bound to only one kind of donor ligand group. * (A) [FeO_4]^2-$[FeO_4]^{2-}$ is homoleptic, but Fe^+6$Fe^{+6}$ corresponds to a 3d^2$3d^2$ (even) electronic configuration. * (B) [Fe(CN)_6]^3-$[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$ is homoleptic. Fe^+3$Fe^{+3}$ corresponds to a 3d^5$3d^5$ (odd) configuration. * (C) [Fe(CN)_5NO]^2-$[Fe(CN)_5NO]^{2-}$ is heteroleptic (contains two types of ligands). * (D) [CoCl_4]^2-$[CoCl_4]^{2-}$ is homoleptic. Co^+2$Co^{+2}$ corresponds to a 3d^7$3d^7$ (odd) configuration. * (E) [Co(H_2O)_3F_3]$[Co(H_2O)_3F_3]$ is heteroleptic. ### Pattern Recognition Filter by 'homoleptic' first to instantly eliminate multi-ligand mixed structures like options (C) and (E). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Coordination Compounds Q46 2025 Crystal Field Theory and Colors of Complexes Consider the following low-spin complexes K_3[Co(NO_2)_6]$K_{3}[Co(NO_{2})_{6}]$, K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$K_{4}[Fe(CN)_{6}]$, K_3[Fe(CN)_6]$K_{3}[Fe(CN)_{6}]$, Cu_2[Fe(CN)_6]$Cu_{2}[Fe(CN)_{6}]$ and Zn_2[Fe(CN)_6]$Zn_{2}[Fe(CN)_{6}]$. 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 Q36 2025 Borax Bead Test and Crystal Field Split The metal ion whose electronic configuration is not affected by the nature of the ligand and which gives a violet colour in non-luminous flame under hot condition in borax bead test is A. mathrmTi^3+$\mathrm{Ti}^{3+}$ B. mathrmNi^2+$\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}$ C. mathrmMn^2+$\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}$ D. mathrmCr^3+$\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}$ Solution ### Core Logic Nickel (mathrmNi^2+$\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}$) exhibits a d^8$d^8$ electronic profile. In regular octahedral complex splits: t_2g^6 e_g^2$t_{2g}^6 e_g^2$ Because the lower t_2g$t_{2g}$ subshell is fully paired and the higher e_g$e_g$ contains exactly 2 electrons matching Hund's rules, this orbital distribution remains configurationally identical under both strong-field and weak-field environments. Additionally, mathrmNi^2+$\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}$ compounds produce a characteristic violet bead during hot cycles in a non-luminous flame within the qualitative borax matrix. ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Configuration invariant to ligand strength + qualitative test combination. Shortcut: A d^8$d^8$ structure in octahedral splitting always stays high-spin/low-spin identical, pointing strictly to mathrmNi^2+$\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}$. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Chemistry: Coordination Compounds Class 12 Chemistry: The d-and f-Block Elements 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 ?
