SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS
Question.Give the electronic configuration of the following complexes on the basis of Crystal Field Splitting theory.
[CoF6]3-, [Fe(CN)6]4- and [Cu(NH3)6]2+.
Answer. [CoF6]3- = Co3+ = (d)6 = t2g4eg2
[Fe(CN)6]4- = Fe2+ = (d)6 = t2g6eg0
[Cu(NH3)6]2+ = Cu2+ = (d)9 = t2g6eg3
Question. [Ni(CN)4]2- is colourless where as [Ni(H2O)6]2+ is green. Why?
Answer. In [Ni(CN)4]2-, Ni is in +2 oxidation state with electronic configuration 3d8. In the presence of strong CN- ligand the two unpaired electron in 3d orbital pair up. As there is no unpaired electron, it is colourless.
In [Ni(H2O)6]2+ Ni is +2 oxidation state and electronic configuration 3d8. The two unpaired electrons do not pair up in the presence of weak ligand H2O. The d-d transition absorbs red light and complementary green light is emitted.
Question. Give the formula of each of the following coordination entities:
(i) Co 3+ ion bound to one Cl- , one NH3 molecule and two ethylene diamine molecules.
(ii) Ni 2+ ion is bound to two water molecules and two oxalate ions.
Answer. (i) [Co (NH3)Cl (en)2]2+ (ii)Ni(H2O)2(ox)2] 2-

Answer. A is [Cr(NH3)4ClBr]Cl B is [Cr(NH3)4Cl2]Br
CASE BASED QUESTIONS
I. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
Complex compounds play an important role in our daily life. Werner’s theory of complex compounds says every metal atom or ion has primary valency (oxidation state) which is satisfied by –vely charged ions, ionisable where secondary valency (coordination number) is non-ionisable, satisfied by ligands (+ve, –ve, neutral) but having lone pair. Primary valency is non-directional, secondary valency is directional. Complex compounds are name according to IUPAC system. Valence bond theory helps in determining shapes of complexes based on hybridisation, magnetic properties, outer or inner orbital complex. Complex show ionisation, linkage, solvate and coordination isomerism also called structural isomerism. Some of them also show stereoisomerism i.e. geometrical and optical isomerism. Ambidentate ligand are essential to show linkage isomerism. Polydentate ligands form more stable complexes then unidentate ligands. There are called chelating agents. EDTA is used to treat lead poisoning, cis-platin as anticancer agents. Vitamin B12 is complex of cobalt. Haemoglobin, oxygen carrier is complex of Fe2+ and chlorophyll essential for photosynthesis is complex of Mg2+.
