Chemistry - Coordination Chemistry Question with Solution | TestHub
The crystal field splitting, depends upon the field produced by the ligand and charge on the metal ion. Some ligands are able to produce strong fields in which case, the splitting will be large whereas others produce weak field and consequently result in small splitting of d-orbitals.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are CORRECT regarding above process?
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
Solution:
Anion 'E'
Statement A is correct: In species 'E' (), is a system where the chelating oxalate ligands cause strong pairing, forming a low-spin complex with hybridization and diamagnetic nature.
Statement B is correct: Species 'E' ( type) is chiral and has 2 optically active isomers (d and l enantiomers). Species 'C' () exists as cis and trans isomers; the trans form is inactive, while the cis form is chiral and contributes 2 optically active isomers. Since both species 'E' and 'C' have an equal number of optically active isomers (2), statement B is true.
