Correct answer: C
- Identify the geometry and hybridisation of each complex in List-B
We classify each complex using metal oxidation state, -electron count, ligand strength, and geometry.
(1)
- Oxidation state of Fe:
- So is .
- is a weak field ligand, so no pairing occurs in orbitals.
- Octahedral complex with outer orbital hybridisation:
So, (1) corresponds to .
(2)
- is neutral and is .
- Since the complex is neutral:
- So is .
- Coordination number , hence octahedral.
- Since vacant orbitals are available, it can use inner orbital hybridisation:
So, (2) corresponds to .
(3)
- is neutral, so Cr oxidation state is .
- is .
- Coordination number , octahedral.
- Two vacant orbitals are available, so inner orbital complex:
So, (3) corresponds to .
(4)
- Oxidation state of Fe:
- is .
- Coordination number .
- is weak field, so tetrahedral complex forms.
- Tetrahedral hybridisation:
So, (4) corresponds to .
(5)
- is neutral, so Ni oxidation state is .
- atom: .
- In the complex, due to pairing, effective configuration becomes .
- Coordination number , tetrahedral.
- Hybridisation:
So, (5) corresponds to .
(6)
- Oxidation state of Ni:
- is .
- is strong field ligand, causing pairing.
- Coordination number and strong field gives square planar geometry.
- Square planar hybridisation:
So, (6) corresponds to .
- Now match with List-A
So the correct matching is:
- Compare with options
This corresponds to Option C.
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = C.
Our derived answer also = C.
