In $ [Ni(NH_3)_4]SO_4 $ the valency and coordinate number of Ni will be respectivly ?

Explanation

In the complex $[Ni(NH_3)_4]SO_4$, the nickel ion is coordinated to 4 ammonia (NH3) molecules. Ammonia is a neutral ligand, so it does not affect the oxidation state of nickel. The sulfate ion (SO4) has a charge of -2. Therefore, for the complex to be neutral, the nickel ion must have a charge of +2. Thus, the valency (oxidation state) of Ni is +2 and the coordination number (number of ligands attached to Ni) is 4.

Which of the following compounds shows optical isomerism?

Explanation

Optical isomerism occurs when a compound can exist in two non-superimposable mirror images. In the given options, $[Cr(C_2O_4)_3]^{3-}$ can show optical isomerism because it has a chiral center due to the arrangement of the oxalate ligands around the chromium ion. The other compounds do not have such an arrangement that leads to optical isomerism.

In the process of extraction of gold, Roasted gold ore $ +CN^– + H_2O \rightarrow X +OH^– [X] +Zn \rightarrow Y+ Au $. Identify the complexes [X] and [Y]

Explanation

In the extraction of gold, the roasted gold ore reacts with cyanide ions to form the complex $[Au(CN)_2]^-$ and hydroxide ions (OH^-). This complex then reacts with zinc to form $[Zn(CN)_4]^{2-}$ and releases gold (Au). Hence, the complexes are $X = [Au(CN)_2]^-$ and $Y = [Zn(CN)_4]^{2-}$.

Assertion and Reas on Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below : Assertion : Potassium ferrocyanide and potassium ferricyanide both are diamagnetic. Reason : Both have unpaired election.

Explanation

Potassium ferrocyanide ($K_4[Fe(CN)_6]$) is diamagnetic because it has no unpaired electrons in its low-spin complex. However, potassium ferricyanide ($K_3[Fe(CN)_6]$) is paramagnetic because it contains unpaired electrons in its high-spin complex. The assertion is false because potassium ferricyanide is not diamagnetic, and the reason is also false as it states that both have unpaired electrons. Thus, the correct answer is o4: If the assertion and reason both are false.

Assertion and Reas on Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below : Assertion : The $ [Ni(en)_3]Cl_2$ has lower stability than $(Ni(NH_3)_6]Cl_2$ Reason : In $ [Ni(en)_3]Cl_2 $ the geometry of Ni is trigonal bipyramidal.

Assertion and Reas on Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below : Assertion : $ H_2N - NH_2 $ is a chelating ligand. Reason : A chelating ligand must possess two or more lone pair at such distance that it may form suitable strain free ring at the metal ion.

Assertion and Reas on Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below : Assertion : $[Ti(H_2O)_6]^{+3} $ is coloured while $ [Sc(H_2O)_6]^{+3} $ is Colourless Reason : d-d transition is not possible in $ [Sc(H_2O)_6]^{+3} $

You've reached today's free limit of 20 questions. Log in to keep practising for free.
Explanation

The assertion that $[Ti(H_2O)_6]^{3+}$ is colored while $[Sc(H_2O)_6]^{3+}$ is colorless is true. The reason is also true: d-d transition is not possible in $[Sc(H_2O)_6]^{3+}$ because Scandium in the +3 oxidation state has an electron configuration of $[Ar]3d^0$, meaning there are no d-electrons to undergo d-d transitions, which are responsible for the color. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. The correct option is o1.

Assertion and Reas on Read the assertion and reason carefully to mark the correct option out of the option given below : Assertion : All the octahedral complexes of $Ni^{+2} $ must be outer orbital complexes. Reason : Outer orbital octahedral complexes are given by weak ligand.
