Correct answer: NO OPTION IS FULLY CORRECT, CHEMICALLY CORRECT MATCHING: (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)
We need to match each complex with:
- Primary valency = oxidation state of the central metal ion
- Secondary valency = coordination number of the central metal ion
So for each complex, we find:
- Oxidation state of the metal
- Number of donor atoms attached to the metal
1. Complex (A):
Step 1: Find oxidation state of Co
The outer means the complex ion has charge :
Let oxidation state of Co be .
- is neutral
- 2 coordinated contribute
So,
Thus, primary valency = 3.
Step 2: Find coordination number
- Each is bidentate:
- Two ligands are monodentate:
Total coordination number:
Thus, secondary valency = 6.
So,
2. Complex (B):
Step 1: Find oxidation state of Pt
This complex is neutral.
- is neutral
- is
- is
Let oxidation state of Pt be :
Thus, primary valency = 2.
Step 2: Find coordination number
Ligands present:
- ammine ligands:
- chloro ligand:
- nitro/nitrito ligand:
Total coordination number:
Thus, secondary valency = 4.
So,
3. Complex (C):
Treat it as and .
Step 1: Find oxidation state of Co
Let oxidation state of Co be . Each has charge .
Thus, primary valency = 2.
Step 2: Find coordination number
There are four ligands, each monodentate.
So coordination number = 4.
Thus, secondary valency = 4.
So,
4. Complex (D):
Step 1: Find oxidation state of Mg
EDTA ligand is . Let oxidation state of Mg be :
Thus, primary valency = 2.
Step 2: Find coordination number
EDTA is a hexadentate ligand.
So coordination number = 6.
Thus, secondary valency = 6.
So,
5. Final matching
We get:
Now compare with options:
- Option A: wrong, wrong, wrong
- Option B: wrong
- Option C:
- Option D: wrong
Here, everything matches Option C except complex (C).
For , the chemically correct values are:
So should match (IV), not (II).
Thus the consistent full matching should be:
Since no option gives this, the stored answer appears inconsistent with standard coordination chemistry definitions.
Conclusion
Using standard definitions, the given options do not contain the fully correct matching. The stored answer C seems incorrect because has been mismatched.
