Give reasons in two or three sentences only for the following
The species `[CuCl_(4)]^(2-)` exists, while `[CuI_(4)]^(2-)` does not .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

False. `I^-` is a stronger reducing agent than `Cl^-` ion and therefore reduces `Cu^(2+)` to `Cu^+` . As a result , `CuI_2` is converted to CuI and hence `CuI_4^(2-)` does not exist .
