Question 9.5 Explain on the basis of valence bond theory that [Ni(CN)_{4}]^{2-} ion with square planar structure is diamagnetic and the [NiCl_{4}]^{2-} ion with tetrahedral geometry is paramagnetic.

Answer :

In both the compounds, the oxidation state of Nickel is +2. So it has d 8 configuration.

Now, on the basis of ligand pairing of electrons will occur. Since CN - is a strong ligand so pairing will occur but in case of Cl - pairing will not be there as it is a weak ligand. So, the configuration of both the compounds looks like :-

1649396442693

1649396465299

1649396484196

Thus [Ni(CN)_{4}]^{2-} is a square planer and diamagnetic and [NiCl_{4}]^{2-} has tetrahedral geometry and is paramagnetic.

Question 9.6 [NiCl_{4}]^{2-} is paramagnetic while [Ni(CO)_{4}] is diamagnetic though both are tetrahedral. Why?

Answer :

The difference in the magnetic behaviour is due to the nature of ligands present. In case of [NiCl_{4}]^{2-} the oxidation state of nickel is +2 and also Cl - is a weak ligand. Thus its configuration becomes:-

1649396517195

So it is paramagnetic and tetrahedral in nature.

In the case of [Ni(CO)_{4}] , the oxidation state of nickel is 0. So its configuration is 3d 8 4s 2 . We also know that CO is a strong ligand, thus the configuration of nickel becomes:-

1649396537524

Hence the given compound is diamagnetic but tetrahedral in nature.

Question 9.7 [Fe(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{3+} is strongly paramagnetic whereas [Fe(CN)_{6}]^{3-} is weakly paramagnetic. Explain.

Answer :

In both the compounds Fe has +3 oxidation state i.e., d 5 configuration.

1649396605801

In the case of strong ligand (CN - ), the pairing of electron will occur. So number of electrons left unpaired will be 1.

In case of weak ligand (H 2 O), pairing of electron will not there. Thus number of electrons unpaired will be 5.

We know that paramagnetic strength is directly proportional to the number of unpaired electrons.

Hence paramagnetism will be more in case of [Fe(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{3+}

Question 9.8 Explain [Co(NH_{3})_{6}]^{3+} is an inner orbital complex whereas [Ni(NH_{3})_{6}]^{2+} is an outer orbital complex.

Answer :

Firstly consider [Co(NH_{3})_{6}]^{3+} :-

The oxidation state of cobalt is +3. So the electronic configuration of it will be d 6 .

Since (NH 3 ) is a strong ligand so the pairing of electron will be there.

1649396659090

So, it has d 2 sp 3 hybridisation and an inner orbital complex.


Now consider, [Ni(NH_{3})_{6}]^{2+}

The oxidation state of nickel is +3. So its electronic configuration will be d 8 .

Also (NH 3 ) is a strong ligand so pairing of electrons will be seen.

1649396695953

Thus [Ni(NH_{3})_{6}]^{2+} is an outer orbital complex.

Question 9.9 Predict the number of unpaired electrons in the square planar [Pt(CN)_{4}]^{2-} ion.

Answer :

The oxidation state of Pt in the given compound is +2. Also, it is given that the compound has square planar geometry i.e., it has dsp 2 hybridisation (d 8 ).

CN - is a strong ligand so the pairing of electron will occur.

So there are be no unpaired electrons in the given compound.

Question 9.10 The hexaqua manganese(II) ion contains five unpaired electrons, while the hexacyanoion contains only one unpaired electron. Explain using Crystal Field Theory.

Answer :

Consider Hexaqua manganese (II) :- In this compound, the oxidation state of Mn is +2 and its electronic configuration is d 5 .

H 2 O is a weak ligand and crystal field is octahedral so the arrangement of electrons will be t 2 3 g eg 2 .

So the total number of unpaired electrons is 5.

Now consider hexacyanoion:- In this compound, the oxidation state of Mn is +2. It is surrounded by the strong ligands CN - , so pairing will be there.

Its arrangement will be t 2g 5 eg 0 .

Thus the number of unpaired electrons will be 1.

NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chemistry Chapter 9 Coordination Compounds- Exercise Questions

Question 9.1 Explain the bonding in coordination compounds in terms of Werner’s postulates.

Answer :

Werner his theory of coordination compounds and gave some postulates. The main postulates are:

1. In coordination compounds metals show two types of linkages or valences namely primary valency and secondary valency.

2. The primary valences are generally ionisable and are satisfied or balanced by negative ions.

3. The secondary valences are non-ionisable. These are satisfied by either neutral molecules or by negative ions. The secondary valence is equal to the coordination number (No. of atoms surrounding the metal) and is constant for a metal.

4. According to different coordination numbers, the ions/groups bound by the secondary linkages to the metal have characteristic spatial arrangements.

Question 9.2 FeSO_{4} solution mixed with (NH_{4})_{2}SO_{4} solution in 1:1 molar ratio gives the test of Fe^{2+} ion but CuSO_{4} solution mixed with aqueous ammonia in 1:4 molar ratio does not give the test of Cu^{2+} ion. Explain why?

Answer :

15949066434331594906639690

The major difference between both the compounds is that the first compound is a salt and the other one is a coordination compound. In case of double salt compounds (Mohr's salt), the compound breaks into its constituent ions when dissolved in water, therefore it gives a positive test for the presence of Fe +2 . But in case of coordination compounds, they maintain their identity in both solid and dissolved state. Thus the individual property of each constituent is lost. And therefore it doesn't give a positive test for Cu +2 .

Question 9.3 Explain with two examples each of the following: coordination entity, ligand, coordination number, coordination polyhedron, homoleptic and heteroleptic.

Answer :

(i) Coordination entity:- It is an electrically charged species carrying either a positive charge or a negative charge. In a coordination entity, the central atom or ion is surrounded by some number of neutral molecules or negative ions ( called ligands) accordingly.

E.g\ \left [ PtCl_4 \right ]^{2-}\ and\ \left [ Ag(CN)_2 \right ]^{-}

(ii) Ligand:- Ligands are the neutral molecules or negatively charged ions that surround the metal atom in a coordination entity according to the holding capacity of central metal ion are known as ligands. NH 3 and H 2 O are two neutral ligands.

(iii) Coordination number:- The total number of metals that surrounds the central metal ion is known as coordination number.

For e.g,(a) In case of \left [ PtCl_6 \right ]^{2-} six chlorine atoms are attached to Pt, thus the coordination number of the given compound is 6.

(b) In case of \left [ Ni(NH_3)_4 \right ]^{2-} the central metal ion Ni is surrounded by 4 atoms of ligand so its coordination number is 4.

(iv) Coordination polyhedron:- It is defined as the spatial arrangement of the ligands which are directly attached to the central metal ion/atom.

E.g. square planar, tetrahedral.

(v) Homoleptic:- Homoleptic compounds are defined as the compounds in which the donor/ligand attached to central metal atom/ion is of one kind.

E.g. \left [ PtCl_6 \right ]^{2-} and \left [ Ni(NH_3)_4 \right ]^{2-}

(vi) Heteroleptic:- These are the coordination compounds in which central atoms are attached with more than one type of ligand.

E.g. \left [ Co(NH_3)_5Cl \right ]^{2+} and \left [ Co(NH_3)_4 Cl_2\right ]^{+1}

Question 9.4 What is meant by unidentate, didentate and ambidentate ligands? Give two examples for each.

Answer :

Unidentate ligands:- The ligand which has only one donor site are known as unidentate ligands. E.g. Cl - , NH 3

Bidentate(or didentate):- The ligands which have two donor sites are known as bidentate ligands. E.g. Ethane - 1,2 diamine, Oxalate ion

Ambidentate ligands:- The ligands which can attach themselves to the central metal through two different atoms. E.g NO 2 , SCN

Question 9.5 (i) Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:

(i)[Co(H_{2}O)(CN)(en)_{2}]^{2+}

Answer :

Hence the coordination number of cobalt is 3.

Question 9.5(iii) Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:

(iii)[PtCl_{4}]^{2-}

Answer :

Let us assume the oxidation state of Pt to be x.

Then the equation becomes :-

\\x\ +\ 4(-1)\ =\ -2\\x=+2

Hence the oxidation state of Pt metal is 2.

Question 9.5(iv) Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:

(iv)K_{3}[Fe(CN)_{6}]

Answer :

Let the oxidation state of Fe be x.

Then the equation will be :-

\\x\ +\ 6(-1)\ =\ -3\\x=+3

Thus oxidation state of Fe in this coordination compound is 3.

Question 9.5(v) Specify the oxidation numbers of the metals in the following coordination entities:

(v) [Cr(NH_{3})_{3}Cl_{3}]

Answer :

Let us assume the oxidation state of Cr to be x.

Then according to the question we get,

x\ +\ 3(0)\ +\ 3(-1)\ =\ 0

x=+3

So the oxidation state of Cr will be 3.

The ligands on the right side of the series strong field ligands are present whereas on the left-hand side weak field ligands are present.

The strong field ligands are capable of splitting d orbitals to a higher extent as compared to weak field ligands.

Question 9.18 What is crystal field splitting energy? How does the magnitude of \Delta _{o} decide the actual configuration of d orbitals in a coordination entity?

Answer :

It is known that the degenerated d-orbitals split into two levels - e g and t 2g . The splitting of the degenerate levels due to the presence of ligands is called the crystal-field splitting and the energy difference between the two levels (e g and t 2g ) is called the crystal-field splitting energy (CFSE).

The CFSE is denoted by Δ o .

After splitting of orbitals, the filling of the electrons starts. After 1 electron has been filled in each of the three t 2g orbitals, the fourth electron can enter the eg orbital ( t 2g 3 e g 1 like electronic configuration) or the pairing of the electrons can take place in the t 2g orbitals ( t 2g 4 e g 0 like electronic configuration).

If the CFSE value or Δ o value of a ligand is less than the pairing energy (P), then the electrons enter into the e g orbital. And, if the Δ o value of a ligand is more than the pairing energy (P), then the electrons will enter the t 2g orbital.

Question 9.19 [Cr(NH_{3})_{6}]^{3+} is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN)_{4}]^{2-} is diamagnetic. Explain why?

Answer :

In [Cr(NH_{3})_{6}]^{3+} the oxidation state of the compound is +3. Its electronic configuration is d 3 . Also, NH 3 is a weak field ligand so the pairing of electrons will not occur.

1649397339473

So this compound is paramagnetic in nature.

In [Ni(CN)_{4}]^{2-} the oxidation state of the Ni is +2. Its electronic configuration is d 8 . Also, CN - is a strong field ligand so the pairing of electrons will occur.

1649397357300

Hence the above compound is diamagnetic in nature.

Question 9.20 A solution of [Ni(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} is green but a solution of [Ni(CN)_{4}]^{2-} is colourless. Explain .

Answer :

In the case of [Ni(CN)_{4}]^{2-} , we have CN - as a strong field ligand. So, the pairing of electrons will occur. The electronic configuration of Ni +2 is d 6 . Since all the electrons will be paired thus d-d electronic transition is not possible on this case. Whereas in case of [Ni(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} we have a weak field ligand (H 2 O). The pairing of electrons will not occur. Thus electrons from a lower state of energy can transit to a higher state of energy and thus will give some colour.

Question 9.21 [Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-} and [Fe(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} are of different colours in dilute solutions. Why?

Answer :

In both compounds, the oxidation state of Fe is +2. Also, in [Fe(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} we have weak field ligand whereas in [Fe(CN)_{6}]^{4-} we have strong field ligand. So there is a difference in CFSE value in both the compounds. As a result, the colour shown by both compounds is different.

Question 9.22 Discuss the nature of bonding in metal carbonyls.

Answer :

The metal-carbon bond in metal carbonyls has both σ and π character. Basically the M–C σ bond is generated due to the donation of lone pair of electrons on the carbonyl carbon into a vacant orbital of the metal. Whereas the M–C π bond is formed due to the donation of a pair of electrons from a filled d orbital of metal into the vacant/empty antibonding π* orbital of carbon monoxide. As a result, this metal to ligand bonding leads to a synergic effect which strengthens the bond between CO and the metal.

(i) No. of unpaired electrons in [Cr(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{3+} is 3.

The magnetic moment is given by :

=\ \sqrt{n(n+2)}

or =\ \sqrt{3(3+2)}\ =\ \sqrt{15}BM

(ii) Similarly in [Fe(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} the number of unpaired electrons is 4.

So the magnetic moment :

=\ \sqrt{4(4+2)}\ =\ \sqrt{24}BM

(iii) In the case of [Zn(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} the number of unpaired electrons is 0. So its magnetic moment is also zero.

Thus [Fe(H_{2}O)_{6}]^{2+} has the highest dipole moment among all.

Thank you

Hope this information helps you.

hello,

Yes you can appear for the compartment paper again since CBSE gives three chances to a candidate to clear his/her exams so you still have two more attempts. However, you can appear for your improvement paper for all subjects but you cannot appear for the ones in which you have failed.

I hope this was helpful!

Good Luck

Hello dear,

If you was not able to clear 1st compartment and now you giving second compartment so YES, you can go for your improvement exam next year but if a student receives an improvement, they are given the opportunity to retake the boards as a private candidate the following year, but there are some requirements. First, the student must pass all of their subjects; if they received a compartment in any subject, they must then pass the compartment exam before being eligible for the improvement.


As you can registered yourself as private candidate for giving your improvement exam of 12 standard CBSE(Central Board of Secondary Education).For that you have to wait for a whole year which is bit difficult for you.


Positive side of waiting for whole year is you have a whole year to preparing yourself for your examination. You have no distraction or something which may causes your failure in the exams. In whole year you have to stay focused on your 12 standard examination for doing well in it. By this you get a highest marks as a comparison of others.


Believe in Yourself! You can make anything happen


All the very best.

Hello Student,

I appreciate your Interest in education. See the improvement is not restricted to one subject or multiple subjects  and  we cannot say if improvement in one subject in one year leads to improvement in more subjects in coming year.

You just need to have a revision of all subjects what you have completed in the school. have a revision and practice of subjects and concepts helps you better.

All the best.

Hi,

You just need to give the exams for the concerned two subjects in which you have got RT. There is no need to give exam for all of your subjects, you can just fill the form for the two subjects only.
