Question 61 Mark
Why is $\left[ Cu ( CN )_4\right]^{2-}$ complex ion is more stable than the $\left[ Cu \left( NH _3\right)_4\right]^{2+}$ complex ion?
Answer
$CN ^{-}$is a stronger ligand than $NH _3$, hence, $\left[ Cu ( CN )_4\right]^{2-}$ is more stable than $\left[ Cu \left( NH _3\right)_4\right]^{2+}$.

Question 121 Mark
How can (i) $\left[ Pt \left( NH _3\right)_4 Cl _2\right] Br _2$ and (ii) $\left[ Pt \left( NH _3\right)_4 Br _2\right] Cl _2$ be differentiated?
Answer
On adding $AgNO _3$ in hydrolysed solution of both the complexes, yellow precipitate of AgBr will be formed in (i) while in (ii) white precipitate of AgCl will be obtained.

Question 131 Mark
Write the ascending order of movement of aqueous solution of the following complexes :
(i) $K _4\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]$
(ii) $\left[ Pt \left( NH _3\right)_4\right]\left[ PtCl _4\right]$
(iii) $\left[ Ni ( CO )_4\right]$
Answer
(iii) < (ii) < (i) Because there is no substance in the solution of (iii). There are no ions but the aqueous solutions of (ii) and (i) will have 2 and 5 atoms respectively.
