P, the 4th electron pairs up in one of the tog orbitals giving the configuration ff, e?

36 [CH(NH;)¢)* is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN),]-is diamagnetic. Explain why?
Sol In [Ce(NH)<)*, central metal ion Cr>* with electronic configtiration [Ar] 342 undergoes d’sp3
Tn [Ni(CN),}, central metal ion Ni?
hybridization. CN-being a strong field
d ligand leads to pairing up of electrons in d-subshell. The
four pairs of electrons from four CN“ ions.occupy the four dép? hybridized orbitals: Due va
absence of unpaired electrons, [Ni(CN),|*is diamagnetic.
37 Asolution of [Ni(t1,0),]"*is green buta solution of [Ni(CN),]™is colourless. Explain.
Sol. In [Ni(H,0),]**, Ni is in +2 state with the configuration 348, ie,, it has two unpaired electrons
which do not pair up in the presence of the weak field H,O ligand. Hence, itis coloured. The d
4d transition absorbs red lightand the complementary light emitted is green.
In IN(CN),I*, Ni is again'in 42 state with the configuration 3¢® but in presencé of the strong
field CN" ligand, the two unpaired electrons in the 3d orbitals pair up. Due to absence of unpaired
electrons, it is colourless.
38 UFe(CN)ql* anid [Fe(H1;0),I* are of different colours in dilute solutions. Why?
Sol. Inboth the complexes, Feis in +2state with 3¢*configuration, ie, ithas four unpaired electrons.
In presence of the weak H,O ligand, they don’t pair up. In presence of strong C's ligand, they
Pair up leavirg-no unpaired electron. Because of the difference in the number of unpaired
electrons, they have different colours.

45 How many ions are produced from the complex Co(NH,),Cl, in solution?
@ 6 © 4 3 (@ 2
Sol. Ans. (0).
Coordination number of cobalt =6. Hence, the complex is [Co(NH,),ICly.
It ionizes in the solution as : [Co(NH,),ICh, _*2_ [Co(NH,),)°* + 2Cr-.
Thus, three fons are produced.
