How many of the following species are both diamagnetic and achiral? cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂], cis-[Co(en)₂Cl₂]⁺, trans-[Co(en)₂Cl₂]⁺, [Zn(NH₃)₄]²⁺, [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺, [Ni(CN)₄]²⁻
Answer:
4
Solution:
cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂], trans-[Co(en)₂Cl₂]⁺, [Zn(NH₃)₄]²⁺ and [Ni(CN)₄]²⁻ are diamagnetic and achiral. cis-[Co(en)₂Cl₂]⁺ is diamagnetic but chiral, and [Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺ is paramagnetic. Count = 4.
