These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the following four options.
Statement-1 : [Ti(H2O)6]3+ is coloured while [Sc(H2O)6]3+ is colourless.
Statement-1 : d-d transition is not possible in [Sc(H2O)6]3+.
-
Solution
Both statement-1 and statement-2 are true and statement-2 is the correct explanation of statement-1.[Sc(H2O6]3+ has no unpaired electron in its d subshell and thus d–d transition is not possible whereas[Ti(H2O)6]3+ has one unpaired electron in its d subshell which gives rise to d–d transition to impart colour
These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the following four options.
Statement-1 : [Fe(CN)6]3– is weakly paramagnetic while [Fe(CN)6]4– is diamagnetic.
Statement-2 : [Fe(CN)6]3– has +3 oxidationstate while [Fe(CN)6]4– has +2 oxidation state.
-
Solution
Both statement-1 and statement-2 are true but statement-2 is not the correct explanation of statement-
1. [Fe(CN)6]3– is weakly paramagnetic as it hasunpaired electrons while [Fe(CN)6]2– has no unpaired electron.
Δ It is diamagnetic.
These are Assertion-Reason type questions. Each of these question contains two statements:Statement-1 (Assertion) and Statement-2 (Reason). Answer these questions from the following four options.
Statement-1: NF3 is a weaker ligand than N(CH3)3.
Statement-2 : NF3 ionizes to give F–ions in aqueous solution.
-
Solution
It is correct statement that NF3 is a weaker ligand than N(CH3)3, the reason is that fluorine is highly electro negative therefore, it with draw electrons from nitrogen atom. Hence, the lone pair of nitrogen atom cannot be ligated. While N(CH3)3 is a strong ligand because CH3 is electron releasing group.
