A. The strength of anionic ligands can be explained by crystal field theory.

B. Valence bond theory does not give a quantitative interpretation of kinetic stability of coordination compounds.

C. The hybridization involved in formation of [Ni(CN)4]2− complex is dsp2.

D. The number of possible isomer(s) of cis- [PtCl2(en)2]2+ is one

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Multiple Choice Options

  • A B, C only
  • B B, D only
  • C A, C only
  • D A, D only

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(A) Strength of anionic ligands cannot be explained by CFT instead LFT i.e., ligand field theory explains the strength of ligands.

(B) VBT does not give a quantitative interpretation of kinetic stability of coordination compounds.

(C) [Ni(CN)4]2−→Ni2+\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right]^{2-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Ni}^{2+} in presence of CN−\mathrm{CN}^{-} ligand.

Square planar geometry since →4,dsp2\rightarrow 4, d s p^2 hybridised orbitals created.

(D) cis- [PtCl2(en)2]⇒\left[\mathrm{PtCl}_2(\mathrm{en})_2\right] \Rightarrow It has two possible isomers
