Ans: Correct option: A
A chelating agent binds to a single metal ion with two or more donor atoms. Oxaloto, Glycinato, and ethane-1,2-diamine all have two donor oxygen atoms. The gland Thiosulpato is ambidentate.

Ans: Correct option: D
Two or more compounds with the same formula but distinct structures and characteristics are known as isomers.
So, in this case compounds
[Co (SO4) (NH3)5]Br and [Co (SO4) (NH3)5]Cl show no isomerism

Ans: Correct option: (A)
Linkage isomerism arises in a coordination compound containing ambidentate ligand.
A simple example is by complexes containing the thiocyanate ligand, NCS-which may bind through the nitrogen to give M-NCS or through sulphur to give M-SCN.

Ans: Correct option: A
CFSE for octahedral and tetrahedral complex is related as
Δt = Δ0
Where Δ0= CFSE for octahedral complex
Δ0= CFSE for tetrahedral complex
Δ0=1800 cm−1
Δt =49*18000=8000 cm−1

Ans: Correct option: A
This is due to the complex's octahedral structure and (cis-trans) isomerism. Two Cl ligands are next to each other in trans isomerism. Although these isomers have the same structure, they are not identical.
Possible isomers are:

Ans: Correct option: C
The chelate effect is when a chelating ligand coordinates the stabilisation of a molecule. Any ligand that binds to metal forms a ring with 5 or 6 members, which is the most stable.
Here, CO, CN, H2O is monodentate ligand [Fe (C2O4)3]3- is an oxalate ligand.

Ans: Correct option: D
When 1 mol [CrCl3 (H2O)3]6H2O is treated with excess of AgNO3, 3 mol of AgCl is produced, i.e., [CrCl3 (H2O)3]6H2Ois dissociated in aqueous solution and all three chloride comes in solution.
[Cr (H2O)6]Cl3→ [Cr (H2O)6]3+ + 3Cl-

Ans: Correct option: B
When 0.1 mol CoCl3 (NH3)5 is treated with excess of AgNO3, In the given reaction [CoCl3 (NH3)5]Cl2
then electrolytic solution must contain
[CoCl3 (NH3)5]Cl2+ and two Cl- ions.
Hence, it is 1:2 electrolyte.
