Coordination Compounds

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Ans: Correct option: A

Strong field ligands have five degenerate energy levels, which means they have more energy separation than weak field ligands.

Here, ΔE= $\frac{\mathrm{h}\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{\lambda }}$

ΔE α $\frac{1}{\mathrm{\lambda }}$

$\mathrm{\lambda }$ α $\frac{1}{\mathrm{\Delta }\mathrm{E}}$

The wavelength decreases as the energy separation rises.

Ans: Correct options: B

The bigger the value of constant, the better will be the stability.

Here, has the highest value of logk which corresponds to the highest value of k.

Ans: Ambidentate ligands are ligands which have two donating sites. Coordinating compounds containing ambidentate ligands show linkage isomerism due to two different binding positions. Linkage isomerism have same ligand and geometry attached to a central metal ion by different donating sites

Examples:

(i) 

(ii) M←SCN

thiocyanato

M←NCS

isothiocyanato

Ans: In CuSO₄⋅5H₂O, water acts as ligand and causes crystal field splitting. This makes d - d transitions possible. On the other hand, in CuSO₄, splitting is not possible due to the lack of ligand in the crystal field. As a result, no colour is visible.

Ans: Due to the presence of weak and strong field ligands in complexes, compounds with comparable geometry have distinct magnetic moments. The magnetic moment decreases when the CFSE increases, and vice versa.

Example: [Fe (CN)₆]^3-  - Fe³⁺ ,3d⁵, CN^-  (strong field ligand, pairs electron)

  [Fe (H2O)₆]^3-  - Fe³⁺ ,3d5, H₂O (weak field ligand, does not pair)

Ans: CFSE is higher when the complex contains strong field ligand. Thus, crystal field splitting energy increases in the order

[Cr (Cl)₆]³⁻< [Cr (NH₃)₆]³⁺< [Cr (CN)₆]^3−.

Because according to spectrochemical series the order of field strength is

Cl⁻3−

Ans: CN^-  is a strong ligand and [Fe (CN)₆]^3-  has one paired electron

 H₂O is a weak ligand and [Fe (H₂O)₆]³⁺  has five paired electrons.

Ans: The ligands can be grouped in ascending order of increasing field intensity according to spectrochemical series.

[CoF6]³⁻, Co³⁺ → (d₆)→ t⁴_2g e⁰_g

[FE (CN)₆]⁴⁻, Fe²⁺→ (d₆)→ t⁶_2g e²_g

  [Cu (NH₃)₆]²⁺, Cu²⁺→ (d₉)→ t⁶_2g e²_g

Ans: In a tetrahedral complex, the d-orbit splits too little compared to an octahedral complex. As a result, orbital energy alone are insufficient to couple. Low spin tetrahedral complexes do not form as a result.
