Correct answer: A
To solve this matching problem, we need to analyze each complex in Column I and determine its properties from Column II.
Analysis of Complex (A):
-
Oxidation State of Metal Ion (S): Let the oxidation state of Cobalt (Co) be
x. and are neutral ligands (charge 0). The chloride ions () outside the coordination sphere have a charge of -1 each. The overall charge of the compound is 0. The coordination sphere has a charge of +2 to balance the two ions. So, the metal ion has a +2 oxidation state. This matches (S). -
Magnetic Property (Q/R): The central metal ion is . The atomic number of Co is 27, so its electronic configuration is . The configuration of is . The complex is octahedral. In an octahedral field, the
dorbitals split into and sets. For a ion, there will always be unpaired electrons, regardless of whether it's a high-spin or low-spin complex.- High-spin (weak field): (3 unpaired electrons)
- Low-spin (strong field): (1 unpaired electron) Since there are unpaired electrons, the complex is paramagnetic. This matches (Q).
-
Geometrical Isomers (P): The complex has the general formula , where M = Co, A = , and B = . Octahedral complexes of this type exhibit
cis-transgeometrical isomerism.cis-isomer: The two ligands are adjacent (90° apart).trans-isomer: The two ligands are opposite (180° apart). Therefore, it shows geometrical isomers. This matches (P).
Conclusion for (A): Matches (P), (Q), and (S).
Analysis of Complex (B):
- Oxidation State of Metal Ion (S):
Let the oxidation state of Platinum (Pt) be
x. is neutral (0) andClis -1. The overall complex is neutral.
ightarrow x = +2$$ So, the metal ion has a +2 oxidation state. This matches (S).
-
Magnetic Property (Q/R): The central metal ion is . Pt (Z=78) is a 5d transition metal. Its configuration is . The configuration of is . complexes of 4d and 5d series metals (like ) are typically square planar and low-spin due to the large crystal field splitting energy. In a square planar field, the electrons fill the lower energy orbitals, resulting in a paired configuration: . There are no unpaired electrons. Therefore, the complex is diamagnetic. This matches (R).
-
Geometrical Isomers (P): The complex has the formula and a square planar geometry. This type of complex exhibits
cis-transisomerism (e.g., cisplatin and transplatin). Therefore, it shows geometrical isomers. This matches (P).
Conclusion for (B): Matches (P), (R), and (S).
Analysis of Complex (C):

Let the oxidation state of Co be
x. is neutral (0),Clligand is -1, and the counter-ionClis -1. The coordination sphere has a charge of +1.
ightarrow x = +2$$ So, the metal ion has a +2 oxidation state. This matches (S).
-
Magnetic Property (Q/R): The central ion is (). The ligands and are weak field ligands, so the complex is high-spin octahedral. The electronic configuration is , which has 3 unpaired electrons. Therefore, the complex is paramagnetic. This matches (Q).
-
Geometrical Isomers (P): The complex is of the type . In an octahedral geometry, all positions are equivalent for the single 'B' ligand relative to the five 'A' ligands. Thus, it does not exhibit geometrical isomerism. Does not match (P).
Conclusion for (C): Matches (Q) and (S).
Analysis of Complex (D):
-
Oxidation State of Metal Ion (S): Let the oxidation state of Nickel (Ni) be

Magnetic Property (Q/R): The central ion is . Ni (Z=28) has configuration . is . This is an octahedral complex. For a configuration in an octahedral field, the electrons are arranged as , irrespective of the ligand field strength. There are two unpaired electrons in the orbitals. Therefore, the complex is paramagnetic. This matches (Q).
-
Geometrical Isomers (P): The complex is of the type , where all six ligands are identical. Such complexes do not exhibit geometrical isomerism. Does not match (P).
Conclusion for (D): Matches (Q) and (S).
