` [CuCl_4) ^(2-) ` exists while ` [CuI_4) ^(2-)` does not exist why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In ` [CuCl_4]^(-2) Cu^(2+ ) `is reduced to ` Cu ^(+) ` by `I^(-) ` Hence Cupric Iodide in converted to cuprous Iodide so ` [CuI_4]^(-2) `does not exist.In ` [CuCl_4]^(-2) C1^(-) ` cannot effect this change and so exists.
