MCQ
Given below are two statements:
Statement (I): A solution of $\left[ Ni \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{2+}$ is green in colour.
Statement (II): A solution of $\left[ Ni ( CN )_4\right]^{2-}$ is colourless.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
  • A
    Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
  • Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
  • C
    Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
  • D
    Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect

Answer

Correct option: B.
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
(B) $\left[ Ni \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{+2} \rightarrow$ Green colour solution due to d-d transition. $\left[ Ni ( CN )_4\right]^{-2} \rightarrow$ is diamagnetic and it is colourless.
