51.

Consider the following reaction and statements:

[Co(NH3)4Br2]+ + Br-    [Co(NH3)3Br3] + NH3

(I) Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is a cis-isomer
(II) Two isomers are produced if the reactant complex ion is a trans-isomer
(III) Only one isomer is produced if the reactant complex ion is a trans-isomer
(IV) Only one isomer is produced if the reactant complex ion is a cis – isomer

The correct statements are

  • (II) and (IV)

  • (I) and (II)

  • (I) and (III)

  • (III) and (IV)


52.

Amongst [Ni(H2O)6]2+; [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2]; [Ni(CO)4] and [Ni(CN4)]2- the paramagnetic species are

  • [NiCl4]2-; [Ni(H2O)6]2+; [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2]

  • [Ni(CO)4]; [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2]; [NiCl4]2-

  • [Ni(CN4)]2- ; [Ni(H2O)6]2+ ; [NiCl4]2-

  • [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2] ; [Ni(CO)4]; [Ni(CN4)]2-


A.

[NiCl4]2-; [Ni(H2O)6]2+; [Ni(PPh3)2Cl2]

In [NiCl4]2- and [Ni(H2O6)]2+ ligands Cl- and H2O are weak ligands, therefore no pairing will be possible. Thus, there are two unpaired electrons.

In [Ni(Ph3)2Cl2], although PPh3 has d-acceptance nature but presence of Cl, makes electrons unpaired.
