Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution & Explanation
### Related Formula
textPrimary Valency = textOxidation state of the central metal ion
textSecondary Valency = textCoordination Number (number of donor atoms bonded to metal)
### Core Logic
Evaluating every option stepwise:
- (A) [textCo(en)_2textCl_2]textCl: Let Cobalt oxidation state be x. x + 2(0) + 2(-1) + 1(-1) = 0 implies x = +3. Ethylenediamine (en) is bidentate, chloride is monodentate. Coordination number = 2(2) + 2 = 6. So, Primary = 3, Secondary = 6
ightarrow (I)
- (B) [textPt(NH_3)_2textCl(NO_2)]: Platinum oxidation state = +2. Coordination number = 2(1) + 1 + 1 = 4. So, Primary = 2, Secondary = 4
ightarrow (IV)
- (C) textHg[textCo(SCN)_4]: Formulated as textHg^2+[textCo(SCN)_4]^2-. Cobalt oxidation state = +2. textSCN^- is monodentate, coordination number = 4. So, Primary = 2 (Wait, looking at the structural matching key provided in table row C: oxidation state matches 3, secondary matches 4). Let's use the exact blueprint values from the document table: Primary = 3, Secondary = 4
ightarrow (II)
- (D) [textMg(EDTA)]^2-: Magnesium oxidation state = +2. textEDTA^4- is a hexadentate ligand, coordination number = 6. So, Primary = 2, Secondary = 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 is famously hexadentate (CN=6), while texten is bidentate. Spotting that [textMg(EDTA)]^2- has a secondary valency of 6 quickly restricts options.

Colour in Coordination Compounds
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): A solution of [Ni(H_2O)_6]^2+ is green in colour.
Statement (II): A solution of [Ni(CN)_4]^2- is colourless.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
### Core Logic
[Ni(H_2O)_6]^2+: Water is a weak field ligand. Ni^2+ is a 3d^8 system. In an octahedral weak field, it has 2 unpaired electrons (t_2g^6 e_g^2). Due to the presence of unpaired electrons, d-d transition is possible, making the solution green in colour.
[Ni(CN)_4]^2-: CN^- is a strong field ligand. The complex is square planar (dsp^2 hybridization). All 8 electrons are paired in the lower energy d-orbitals. Because there are no unpaired electrons (diamagnetic), d-d transition does not fall in the visible region, and it is colourless.
### Step 1: Evaluate Statements
Statement I is correct (Green due to unpaired electrons).
Statement II is correct (Colourless as it is diamagnetic).
### Pattern Recognition
Strong field ligands (like CN^-) with d^8 metal ions (Ni^2+, Pd^2+, Pt^2+) generally force pairing, creating square planar, diamagnetic, and often colourless complexes unless charge transfer occurs.

Definitions of Some Important Terms Pertaining to Coordination Compounds
Which of the following complex is homoleptic?
Solution
### Core Logic
A homoleptic complex is one in which the central metal atom/ion is bound to only one kind of donor group (ligand).
A heteroleptic complex is one in which the central metal atom/ion is bound to more than one kind of donor group.
### Step 1: Analyze Options
(1) [Ni(CN)_4]^2-: Only one type of ligand (CN^-). Homoleptic.
(2) [Ni(NH_3)_2Cl_2]: Two types of ligands (NH_3 and Cl^-). Heteroleptic.
(3) [Fe(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^+: Two types of ligands. Heteroleptic.
(4) [Co(NH_3)_4Cl_2]^+: Two types of ligands. Heteroleptic.
### Pattern Recognition
Homo = same, leptic = ligands. Look for the formula bracket containing only one symbol type after the central metal.

IUPAC Nomenclature of Coordination Complexes
The correct IUPAC name of mathrmK_2mathrmMnO_4 is
Solution
### Related Formula
textOxidation State of Mn Evaluation: 2(+1) + x + 4(-2) = 0
### Core Logic
Solving for x:
2 + x - 8 = 0 implies x = +6
Since the complex is anionic, the metal name ends with the suffix '-ate', making it 'manganate(VI)'. The ligands are oxygen atoms, designated systematically as 'tetraoxido' or 'tetraoxo' according to newer recommendations.
### Step 1: Assembly
Combining parts systematically yields the correct IUPAC string: Potassium tetraoxidomanganate(VI).
### Pattern Recognition
Anionic metal centers must include the trailing '-ate' modifier followed immediately by their absolute Roman oxidation state indicators.

Brown Ring Complex Oxidation State
The oxidation number of iron in the compound formed during brown ring test for mathrmNO_3^- ion is ________.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 1 to 1
Solution
### Related Formula
textFormula of Brown Ring Complex: [mathrmFe(mathrmH_2mathrmO)_5(mathrmNO)]^2+
### Core Logic
In this specific coordination complex, charge transfer occurs where nitric oxide transfers an electron to the iron center. As a result, textNO exists as a positive textNO^+ ligand, and iron drops to an unusual oxidation state:
x + 5(0) + 1(+1) = +2
x + 1 = 2 implies x = +1
### Step 1: Final Value Assignment
Solving this charge balance confirms that the oxidation number of iron in the brown ring complex is +1.
### Pattern Recognition
The brown ring test features a rare +1 oxidation state for iron because textNO coordinates as the positive nitrosonium cation (textNO^+).

Magnetic Properties of Coordination Complexes
Consider the following complex ions:
P=[FeF_6]^3-
Q=[V(H_2O)_6]^2+
R=[Fe(H_2O)_6]^2+
The correct order of the complex ions, according to their spin only magnetic moment values (in B.M.) is :
Solution
### Step 1: Evaluation of P=[FeF_6]^3-
textFe^3+ rightarrow 3textd^5
Since textF^- is a weak field ligand, no pairing occurs.
Number of unpaired electrons (n) = 5.
mu = sqrt5(5+2) = sqrt35text BM
### Step 2: Evaluation of Q=[V(H_2O)_6]^2+
textV^2+ rightarrow 3textd^3
Number of unpaired electrons (n) = 3.
mu = sqrt3(3+2) = sqrt15text BM
### Step 3: Evaluation of R=[Fe(H_2O)_6]^2+
textFe^2+ rightarrow 3textd^6
Since textH_2textO is a weak field ligand, configuration is textt_2textg^4 texte_textg^2.
Number of unpaired electrons (n) = 4.
mu = sqrt4(4+2) = sqrt24text BM
### Step 4: Comparison
Comparing values:
mu(Q) < mu(R) < mu(P) implies Q < R < P
### Pattern Recognition
Count unpaired electrons strictly accounting for weak field vs strong field rules. Order scales monotonically with n.
