(A)
In the following complex ions, explain the type of hybridisation, shape and magnetic property : $\displaystyle \left(\mathbf{2} \frac{\mathbf{1}}{\mathbf{2}} \times \mathbf{2}=\mathbf{5}\right)$
(a)
$\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$
(b)
$\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{NiCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}$ (At. Nos. : $\displaystyle \mathrm{Fe}=26, \mathrm{Ni}=28$ )
OR 32. (B) (a) Write IUPAC names of the following :
(i)
$\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)(\mathrm{CN})(\mathrm{en})_{2}\right]^{2+}$
(ii)
$\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{PtCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}$
(iii)
$\displaystyle \left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4} \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{ONO})\right]^{+}$
(b)
What is spectrochemical series ? Write the difference between a strong field ligand and a weak field ligand.
Marking-scheme solution
(A)
a)
sp3d2 , octahedral, paramagnetic
(b)
sp3, tetrahedral , paramagnetic
(B)
a) (i) Aquacyanidobis(ethane-$\displaystyle 1,2$-diamine) cobalt(III) ion
(ii)
Tetrachloridoplatinate(II) ion
(iii)
Tetraamminechloridonitrito-O-chromium(III)ion
(b)
The arrangement of ligands in increasing order of field strength is called spectrochemical series
/it is an experimentally determined series based on the absorption of light by complexes with
different ligands.
Δo < P, weak field ligand ; Δo > P, strong field ligand / Weak ligand form high spin complexes
whereas strong field form low spin complexes.
