Match the following:

Column – IColumn - II
A. sp 3 (i) Co NH 3 6 3+
B. dsp 2 (ii) Ni CO 4
C. sp 3 d 2 (iii) Pt NH 3 2 Cl 2
D. d 2 sp 3 (iv) CoF 6 3

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

I. [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+
Here Co is present as Co 3+ ion. NH 3 being strong field ligand pair up the unpaired electrons of Co .
27 Co= Ar 3d 7 4s 2
Co 3+ = Ar 3d 6 4s 0



II. Ni CO 4
Here Ni is present in its ground state. CO being a strong field ligand, pair up the unpaired electrons of Ni
28 Ni= Ar 3d 8 4s 2



III. Pt NH 3 2 Cl 2
Here Pt is present as Pt 2+ ion.
78 Pt= Xe  5d 9 6s 1
Pt 2+ = Xe  5d 8 6s 0  



IV. CoF 6 3
Here Co is present as Co 3+ ion, F being weak field ligand is unable to pair up its unpaired electrons.
Co 3+ =[Ar] 3d 6 4s 0
