One sample from each question group in this chapter. Select any group above to see the full set with answer keys.

Given below are two statements :

Statement I: Both $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right) 6\right]^{3+}$ and $\left[\mathrm{CoF}_6\right]^3$ complexes are octahedral but differ in their magnetic behaviour.

Statement II: $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)\right]^{3+}$ is diamagnetic whereas $\left[\mathrm{CoF} \mathrm{F}_6\right]^{3-}$ is paramagnetic.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
     Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • B
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • C
     Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  •  Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true

Answer: D.

Match List $I$ with List $II$.

List I (Complex) List $II$ (Type of isomerism)
$A$. $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5\left(\mathrm{NO}_2\right)\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2$ $I$. Solvate isomerism
$B$. $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_5\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)\right] \mathrm{Br}$ $II$. Linkage isomerism
$C$. $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right]$ $III$. Ionization isomerism
$D$. $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right] \mathrm{Cl}_3$ $IV$. Coordination isomerism

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Given below are two statements :

Statement I : $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}$ is a homoleptic complex whereas $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}$is a heteroleptic complex.

Statement II : Complex $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}$ has only one kind of ligands but $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{+}$has more than one kind of ligands.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.

  • A
     Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false
  • B
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false
  • C
     Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true
  • Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true
