Which of the following statements is not true of the reaction given below

(a) it is a ligand -substition reaction
(b) `NH_(3)` is a relatively strong-field ligand while `H_(2)O` is a weak field ligand
(c ) During the reaction there is a change in colour from light blue to dark blue
(d) `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)` has a tetrahedral structure and is paramagnetic .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`H_(2)O` and `NH_(3)` ligand are substituted so it is a ligand substitution reaction `NH_(3)` is powerful ligand (strong field than `H_(2)O)` and hence capable of pairing Thus `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(3+)` is no more tetrahedral it turn to be square planar complex
