Select the correct statements amount the following: 1. Complexes _{4}\right]^{2+

Select the correct statements amount the following: 1. Complexes \( \left[\boldsymbol{C u}\left(\boldsymbol{N} \boldsymbol{H}_{3}\right)_{4}\right]^{2+},\left[\boldsymbol{M} \boldsymbol{n} \boldsymbol{C l}_{4}\right]^{2+},\left[\boldsymbol{F} \boldsymbol{e}(\boldsymbol{C} \boldsymbol{N})_{6}\right] \) are all paramagnetic 2. Complexes \( \left[\boldsymbol{C u}\left(\boldsymbol{N} \boldsymbol{H}_{3} \boldsymbol{4}\right)\right]^{2+},\left[\boldsymbol{N} \boldsymbol{i}(\boldsymbol{C} \boldsymbol{N})_{4}\right]^{2-},[\boldsymbol{N} \boldsymbol{i}(\boldsymbol{D} \boldsymbol{M} \) are all square planner 3. The correct stability order of the complexes will be \( \left[\boldsymbol{F e}\left(\boldsymbol{H}_{2} \boldsymbol{O}\right)_{3}\right]^{3+}< \) \( \left[\boldsymbol{F e}\left(\boldsymbol{C}_{2} \boldsymbol{O}_{3}\right)\right]^{3-}<\left[\boldsymbol{F} \boldsymbol{e}(\boldsymbol{C} \boldsymbol{N})_{3}\right]^{3-} \) 4. \( \left[\boldsymbol{C r}(\boldsymbol{e n})_{3}\right]^{3+} \) exist in the three isometric forms

  • A. Only 1 is correct
  • B. 1,3 and are correct
  • C. 2 and 4 are correct
  • D. 1,2 and 3 are correct

Step-by-step solution

1. [Cu(NH3)4]2+ (d9, paramagnetic), [MnCl4]2- (d5 high spin, paramagnetic), [Fe(CN)6]3- (d5 low spin, paramagnetic) → all paramagnetic. 2. [Cu(NH3)4]2+ (square planar due to Jahn-Teller), [Ni(CN)4]2- (d8, strong field, square planar), [Ni(DMG)2] (square planar) → all square planar. 3. For Fe3+, stability order: aqua < oxalato < cyano, consistent with ligand field strength and chelate effect. 4. [Cr(en)3]3+ has only two optical isomers, not three. Hence statements 1,2,3 are correct.
