Which of the following ions forms most stable complex compound?
Cu2+
Ni2+
Fe2+
Mn2+
A.
Cu2+
The transition elements form complexes because of the following reasons-
(i) They have small size.
(ii) They have large effective nuclear charge.
(iii) They have vacant d-orbitals so that these orbitals can accept lone pairs of electrons donated by the ligands.
Cu2+ has smallest size and highest nuclear charge among the given species. Hence, it forms the most stable complex compound.
Pb2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ ions are present in a given acidic solution. On passing hydrogen sulphide gas through this solution the available precipitate will contain
PbS and NiS
PbS and CuS
CuS and ZnS
CuS and NiS
