The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the four statements provided and determine which ones are correct. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement 1 **Statement 1:** FeCl4⁻ has tetrahedral geometry. 1. **Determine the oxidation state of Fe in FeCl4⁻:** - The charge of chloride (Cl) is -1. Since there are 4 chloride ions, the total negative charge contributed by Cl is -4. - Let the oxidation state of Fe be x. Therefore, the equation is: \[ x + 4(-1) = -1 \implies x - 4 = -1 \implies x = +3 \] 2. **Determine the hybridization:** - Fe in the +3 oxidation state has the electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d⁵. - The four chloride ions will act as ligands. Since Cl is a weak field ligand, it does not cause pairing of the d-electrons. - The hybridization can be determined as follows: - One s orbital and three p orbitals are used for hybridization, resulting in sp³ hybridization. - sp³ hybridization corresponds to a tetrahedral geometry. **Conclusion for Statement 1:** This statement is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement 2 **Statement 2:** [Co(en)2Cl2]⁺ shows geometrical isomerism. 1. **Identify the coordination number and geometry:** - Cobalt (Co) in this complex is in the +3 oxidation state and has a coordination number of 6. - The geometry for coordination number 6 is octahedral. 2. **Geometrical isomerism:** - In an octahedral complex, geometrical isomerism can occur when there are different arrangements of ligands. - The complex can have cis and trans isomers based on the arrangement of the two ethylenediamine (en) ligands and the two chloride (Cl) ligands. - The possible arrangements are: - **Cis isomer:** Both Cl ligands adjacent to each other. - **Trans isomer:** Cl ligands opposite each other. **Conclusion for Statement 2:** This statement is correct, as geometrical isomerism is possible. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement 3 **Statement 3:** FeCl4⁻ has a higher spin magnetic moment than [Co(en)2Cl2]⁺. 1. **Magnetic moment of FeCl4⁻:** - As established, FeCl4⁻ has a tetrahedral geometry with sp³ hybridization. - In tetrahedral complexes, the d-orbitals are split in such a way that the energy of the higher orbitals is lower than that of the lower orbitals, leading to unpaired electrons. - Fe in +3 state has 5 unpaired electrons (3d⁵). 2. **Magnetic moment of [Co(en)2Cl2]⁺:** - Co in this complex is in the +3 oxidation state (3d⁶). - Since ethylenediamine (en) is a strong field ligand, it causes pairing of electrons in the d-orbitals. - Therefore, [Co(en)2Cl2]⁺ has no unpaired electrons. **Conclusion for Statement 3:** This statement is correct, as FeCl4⁻ has more unpaired electrons than [Co(en)2Cl2]⁺. ### Step 4: Analyze Statement 4 **Statement 4:** The hybridization of [Co(en)2Cl2]⁺ is dsp³. 1. **Determine the hybridization:** - As established, [Co(en)2Cl2]⁺ has an octahedral geometry. - The hybridization for octahedral complexes is typically d²sp³, not dsp³. **Conclusion for Statement 4:** This statement is incorrect. ### Final Answer The correct statements are: - Statement 1: Correct - Statement 2: Correct - Statement 3: Correct - Statement 4: Incorrect Thus, the correct statements are A, B, and C.
