The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect characteristics of the complex \([Zn(gly)_{2}]^{0}\), we will analyze its properties step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Ligand and Its Characteristics**: - The ligand in the complex is Gly (glycinate), which is a bidentate ligand. This means it can bind to the metal ion (Zn) at two sites. 2. **Determine the Oxidation State of Zinc**: - The overall charge of the complex is 0. Each glycinate ligand has a charge of -1, and since there are two glycinate ligands, the total negative charge is -2. - Let the oxidation state of Zn be \(x\). - The equation is: \[ x + 2(-1) = 0 \implies x - 2 = 0 \implies x = +2 \] - Therefore, the oxidation state of Zn in the complex is +2. 3. **Calculate the Coordination Number**: - Since glycinate is a bidentate ligand, it donates 2 pairs of electrons (4 electrons total) to the Zn ion. - Thus, the coordination number of Zn in this complex is 4. 4. **Electronic Configuration of Zinc**: - The electronic configuration of Zn is \([Ar] 3d^{10} 4s^{2}\). - In the +2 oxidation state, Zn loses the two 4s electrons, resulting in \([Ar] 3d^{10}\). 5. **Determine Magnetic Properties**: - Since all 10 d-electrons are paired in the 3d orbitals, the complex is **diamagnetic** (no unpaired electrons). 6. **Analyze Isomerism**: - **Optical Isomerism**: This complex has an unsymmetric bidentate ligand, which means it lacks symmetry. Therefore, it cannot exhibit optical isomerism. - **Geometrical Isomerism**: In tetrahedral complexes, geometrical isomerism (cis-trans) does not occur because there are no opposite positions to create such isomers. 7. **Bond Angles**: - The complex has 4 N-Zn-O bond angles due to the tetrahedral geometry. ### Summary of Characteristics: - The complex \([Zn(gly)_{2}]^{0}\) is: - Diamagnetic (correct) - Does not show optical isomerism (incorrect characteristic) - Does not show geometrical isomerism (correct) - Has 4 N-Zn-O bond angles (correct) ### Conclusion: The incorrect characteristic about the complex \([Zn(gly)_{2}]^{0}\) is that it shows optical isomerism. Therefore, the answer is option C.
