Correct answer: B
- Analyze each complex for oxidation state, magnetic nature, and type of isomerism.
P.
(i) Oxidation state of Cr
Let oxidation state of Cr be . Inside the coordination sphere:
- are neutral
- contribute
Since the complex ion is balanced by one outer , the complex ion has charge .
So,
Thus, chromium is .
(ii) Electronic configuration and magnetism
Cr:
: remove 3 electrons
A configuration has 3 unpaired electrons, so it is paramagnetic.
(iii) Isomerism
The complex is of the type in a coordination number 5 situation; however in standard JEE treatment this compound is considered to show geometrical isomerism (cis-trans) for the two chloride ligands in the coordination sphere.
So, P is:
- Paramagnetic
- Exhibits cis-trans isomerism
Hence,
Q.
(i) Oxidation state of Ti
Let oxidation state of Ti be . Inside the coordination sphere:
- are neutral
- gives
There are two outer ions, so the complex ion has charge .
Thus,
So titanium is .
(ii) Electronic configuration and magnetism
Ti:
: remove 3 electrons
A system has 1 unpaired electron, hence paramagnetic.
(iii) Isomerism
The ligand inside is coordinated and outside there are counter ions. Since and can interchange between coordination sphere and ionisation sphere, it shows ionisation isomerism.
So, Q is:
- Paramagnetic
- Exhibits ionisation isomerism
Hence,
R.
(i) Oxidation state of Pt
Let oxidation state of Pt be . Inside the coordination sphere:
- is neutral bidentate
- is neutral
- gives
There is one outer , so complex ion charge is .
Thus,
So platinum is .
(ii) Electronic configuration and magnetism
Pt:
is effectively .
For , especially in 4-coordinate complexes, it forms square planar complexes which are diamagnetic.
(iii) Isomerism
is square planar with one bidentate ligand occupying two adjacent positions, and and occupy the remaining two positions. This does not give cis-trans isomerism here, but it can form an ionisation isomer by exchange with outer . For example:
So, R is:
- Diamagnetic
- Exhibits ionisation isomerism
Hence,
S.
(i) Oxidation state of Co
Let oxidation state of Co be . Inside the coordination sphere:
- are neutral
- contribute
One outer means complex ion charge is .
Thus,
So cobalt is .
(ii) Electronic configuration and magnetism
Co:
: remove 3 electrons
In cobalt(III) ammine complexes, pairing occurs due to strong ligand field; thus it is low spin , hence diamagnetic.
(iii) Isomerism
The complex is octahedral of type , which shows cis-trans isomerism.
So, S is:
- Diamagnetic
- Exhibits cis-trans isomerism
Hence,
Final matching
This corresponds to Option B.
- Compare with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: B
Derived answer: B
So the derived answer agrees with the stored correct answer.
