The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the correct statements, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement:** Cobalt III is stabilized in presence of a weak field ligand, while Cobalt II is stabilized in presence of a strong field ligand. **Analysis:** - Cobalt(III) (Co³⁺) has a configuration of 3d⁶. In the presence of a weak field ligand, the electrons will occupy higher energy orbitals, leading to less stabilization. - Cobalt(II) (Co²⁺) has a configuration of 3d⁷. It is generally stabilized by strong field ligands which cause pairing of electrons in the lower energy orbitals. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 **Statement:** Four coordinated complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II) are paramagnetic and square planar. **Analysis:** - Palladium(II) (Pd²⁺) and platinum(II) (Pt²⁺) both have a d⁸ configuration. They typically form square planar complexes due to their higher effective nuclear charge (Z effective). - However, these complexes are **not paramagnetic**; they are actually diamagnetic because all electrons are paired in the square planar geometry. - Thus, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 **Statement:** Ni(CN)₄²⁻ is a square planar complex and Ni(CO)₄ is tetrahedral. **Analysis:** - In Ni(CN)₄²⁻, nickel is in the +2 oxidation state (3d⁸). CN⁻ is a strong field ligand, which leads to pairing of electrons and the formation of a square planar complex (DSP² hybridization). - In Ni(CO)₄, nickel is in the zero oxidation state (3d⁸ 4s²). CO is also a strong field ligand, but it leads to the formation of a tetrahedral complex (sp³ hybridization). - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect** as the configurations are reversed. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 **Statement:** Ni²⁺ ions do not form inner orbital complexes; they form outer orbital complexes in the presence of weak field ligands. **Analysis:** - Ni²⁺ has a 3d⁸ configuration. In the presence of weak field ligands, the electrons do not pair up and occupy the higher energy orbitals (outer orbitals). - Thus, Ni²⁺ indeed does not form inner orbital complexes but rather outer orbital complexes in the presence of weak field ligands. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion The only correct statement among the options provided is **Option 4**. ---
