This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Ans: Correct options: A, B and C
Option A, B, and C describe that ethane-1, 2-diamine is a neutral ligand due to its lack of charge, a bidentate ligand due to the presence of two donor sites on one nitrogen atom, and a chelating ligand due to its ability to chelate with metal.

Ans: Correct option: A and C
For answer at (A) Atomic number of Iron is 26 . In ferricyanide complex, iron is in oxidation state of 3+. The orbitals on the metal atom undergoes d2sp3 hybridizaion and hence the complex has octahedral shape.
Also it can be said that, [Fe (CN)6]3- has one unpaired electron which makes it weakiy paramagnetic. Therefore, option C is also correct.

Ans: Correct option: A and C
The outer octahedral complexes are weak ligands, number of pairing electrons and high spinning potential.
[MnCl6]3- - electronic configuration of Mn = 3d5,4s2. Shifting the valence electrons become
Mn3+ ,3d4 and number of unpaired electrons is 4.
[FeF6]3- - electronic configuration of Fe = 3d6,4s2. Shifting the valence electrons become
Fe3+ ,3d5 and the number of unpaired electrons is 5.
[CoF6]3 - electronic configuration of Co = 3d7,4s2 shifting the valence electrons become
Fe3+ ,3d6

Ans: Correct option: A and C
(i) Orbitals of Co3+ ion d2sp3 hybridised orbitals of Co3+ [Co (NH3)6]3+ (inner orbital or low spin complex)

No. of unpaired electron =0
Magnetic property = diamagnetic, due to absence of unpaired electrons
(ii) Electronic configuration is 3 d6 orbitals of Fe2+ ion:


6 electron pairs from CN− ions occupy the six hybrid d

Ans: Correct option: B
Hydrate isomerism is isomerism in which water is used as a solvent.
Coordination compounds with the same composition but varying ligand connectivity are known as linkage isomers.
Solvate isomerism has the same composition as free solvent but distinct solvent ligand molecules.
Except for the ligand that swaps places with the anion, ionisation isomers are identical isomers.
Coordination isomers are coordination compounds with distinct metal and ligand compositions.
