Correct answer: B

  1. Determine the hybridisation/geometry of each species

(A) [PtCl4]2−[PtCl_4]^{2-}[PtCl4​]2−

  • Oxidation state of Pt: x+4(−1)=−2⇒x=+2x+4(-1)=-2 \Rightarrow x=+2x+4(−1)=−2⇒x=+2
  • So, Pt is Pt2+Pt^{2+}Pt2+, i.e. 5d85d^85d8.
  • For d8d^8d8 metal ion like Pt2+Pt^{2+}Pt2+, the complex [PtCl4]2−[PtCl_4]^{2-}[PtCl4​]2− is square planar.
  • Square planar complexes correspond to: dsp2dsp^2dsp2
  • Hence, (A)→(III)(A) \to (III)(A)→(III)

(B) BrF5BrF_5BrF5​

  • Central atom Br has 7 valence electrons.
  • It forms 5 bonds with F and has 1 lone pair.
  • Total electron pairs around Br = 6.
  • Electronic geometry = octahedral, molecular shape = square pyramidal.
  • Hybridisation: sp3d2sp^3d^2sp3d2
  • Hence, (B)→(IV)(B) \to (IV)(B)→(IV)

(C) PCl5PCl_5PCl5​

  • Central atom P forms 5 bonds and has no lone pair.
  • Geometry = trigonal bipyramidal.
  • Hybridisation: sp3dsp^3dsp3d
  • Hence, (C)→(I)(C) \to (I)(C)→(I)

(D) [Co(NH3)6]3+[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}[Co(NH3​)6​]3+

  • Oxidation state of Co: x+6(0)=+3⇒x=+3x+6(0)=+3 \Rightarrow x=+3x+6(0)=+3⇒x=+3
  • So, Co is Co3+Co^{3+}Co3+.
  • Atomic number of Co = 27, so: Co:[Ar]3d74s2Co: [Ar]3d^74s^2Co:[Ar]3d74s2 Co3+:[Ar]3d6Co^{3+}: [Ar]3d^6Co3+:[Ar]3d6
  • NH3NH_3NH3​ with Co3+Co^{3+}Co3+ gives a low-spin octahedral complex.
  • Inner orbital octahedral hybridisation: d2sp3d^2sp^3d2sp3
  • Hence, (D)→(II)(D) \to (II)(D)→(II)

  1. Final matching
(A)−(III),(B)−(IV),(C)−(I),(D)−(II)(A)-(III), \quad (B)-(IV), \quad (C)-(I), \quad (D)-(II)(A)−(III),(B)−(IV),(C)−(I),(D)−(II)
  1. Compare with options
  • This corresponds to Option B.
  1. Comparison with stored correct answer
  • Stored correct answer = B
  • Derived answer = B
  • They agree.
