Correct answer: B

  1. Find oxidation state and ddd-electron count for each tetrahedral complex

In a tetrahedral field, the lower-energy set is eee and the higher-energy set is t2t_2t2​. So we must write configurations as ext2ye^x t_2^yext2y​.


  1. Complex A: TiCl4\mathrm{TiCl_4}TiCl4​
  • Oxidation state of Ti: x+4(−1)=0⇒x=+4x+4(-1)=0 \Rightarrow x=+4x+4(−1)=0⇒x=+4
  • Ti has atomic number 222222: Ti:[Ar]3d24s2\mathrm{Ti}: [Ar]3d^24s^2Ti:[Ar]3d24s2
  • Ti4+\mathrm{Ti^{4+}}Ti4+ is: 3d03d^03d0

Hence tetrahedral configuration: e0t20e^0 t_2^0e0t20​ So, A→IIIA \to \text{III}A→III


  1. Complex B: [FeO4]2−[\mathrm{FeO_4}]^{2-}[FeO4​]2−
  • Let oxidation state of Fe be xxx: x+4(−2)=−2⇒x=+6x+4(-2)=-2 \Rightarrow x=+6x+4(−2)=−2⇒x=+6
  • Fe atomic number 262626: Fe:[Ar]3d64s2\mathrm{Fe}: [Ar]3d^64s^2Fe:[Ar]3d64s2
  • Fe6+\mathrm{Fe^{6+}}Fe6+ is: 3d23d^23d2

In tetrahedral splitting, two electrons occupy the lower eee set: e2t20e^2 t_2^0e2t20​ So, B→IB \to \text{I}B→I


  1. Complex C: [FeCl4]−[\mathrm{FeCl_4}]^{-}[FeCl4​]−
  • Let oxidation state of Fe be xxx: x+4(−1)=−1⇒x=+3x+4(-1)=-1 \Rightarrow x=+3x+4(−1)=−1⇒x=+3
  • Fe3+\mathrm{Fe^{3+}}Fe3+ is: 3d53d^53d5

For tetrahedral complexes with weak ligand Cl−\mathrm{Cl^-}Cl−, it is high spin. Filling gives: e2t23e^2 t_2^3e2t23​ So, C→IVC \to \text{IV}C→IV


  1. Complex D: [CoCl4]2−[\mathrm{CoCl_4}]^{2-}[CoCl4​]2−
  • Let oxidation state of Co be xxx: x+4(−1)=−2⇒x=+2x+4(-1)=-2 \Rightarrow x=+2x+4(−1)=−2⇒x=+2
  • Co atomic number 272727: Co:[Ar]3d74s2\mathrm{Co}: [Ar]3d^74s^2Co:[Ar]3d74s2
  • Co2+\mathrm{Co^{2+}}Co2+ is: 3d73d^73d7

Tetrahedral with weak ligand Cl−\mathrm{Cl^-}Cl− gives high spin configuration: e4t23e^4 t_2^3e4t23​ So, D→IID \to \text{II}D→II


  1. Final matching

A→III,B→I,C→IV,D→IIA \to \text{III}, \quad B \to \text{I}, \quad C \to \text{IV}, \quad D \to \text{II}A→III,B→I,C→IV,D→II

This corresponds to Option B.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = B.

Our derived answer = B. So they agree.
