The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct statement regarding coordination compounds, we need to analyze each of the given statements step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze NiCl4^2- 1. **Oxidation State of Nickel**: - The formula is NiCl4^2-. - Let the oxidation state of Ni be \( x \). - The equation becomes: \( x + 4(-1) = -2 \). - Solving gives: \( x - 4 = -2 \) → \( x = +2 \). 2. **Electron Configuration**: - Nickel in +2 oxidation state has the electron configuration of Argon (Ar) 3d^8. 3. **Hybridization**: - NiCl4^2- has 4 chloride ligands which are weak field ligands. - Therefore, there is no pairing of electrons in the 3d orbital. - The hybridization is sp^3 (4 pairs of electrons). 4. **Magnetic Nature**: - Since there are unpaired electrons, NiCl4^2- is paramagnetic. **Conclusion for NiCl4^2-**: The statement about NiCl4^2- being sp^3 hybridized and paramagnetic is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze PtCl4^2- 1. **Oxidation State of Platinum**: - The formula is PtCl4^2-. - Let the oxidation state of Pt be \( y \). - The equation becomes: \( y + 4(-1) = -2 \). - Solving gives: \( y - 4 = -2 \) → \( y = +2 \). 2. **Hybridization**: - PtCl4^2- involves strong field ligands (Cl^- is a weak field ligand, but in this case, we consider the overall field). - The hybridization is dsp^2 (square planar). 3. **Magnetic Nature**: - In this case, all electrons pair up, making it diamagnetic. **Conclusion for PtCl4^2-**: The statement about PtCl4^2- being dsp^2 hybridized and paramagnetic is incorrect; it is diamagnetic. ### Step 3: Analyze Ni(CO)4 1. **Oxidation State of Nickel**: - The formula is Ni(CO)4. - The oxidation state of Ni is 0 (CO is a neutral ligand). 2. **Hybridization**: - For Ni(CO)4, CO is a strong field ligand, leading to pairing of electrons. - The hybridization is sp^3 (tetrahedral). 3. **Magnetic Nature**: - Since all electrons are paired, Ni(CO)4 is diamagnetic. **Conclusion for Ni(CO)4**: The statement about Ni(CO)4 being dsp^2 hybridized is incorrect; it is sp^3 hybridized. ### Step 4: Analyze Co(H2O)6^3+ 1. **Oxidation State of Cobalt**: - The formula is Co(H2O)6^3+. - The oxidation state of Co is +3. 2. **Electron Configuration**: - Cobalt in +3 oxidation state has the electron configuration of 3d^6. 3. **Hybridization**: - H2O is a weak field ligand, leading to no pairing in the 3d orbital. - The hybridization is sp^3d^2 (octahedral). 4. **Magnetic Nature**: - Since there are unpaired electrons, Co(H2O)6^3+ is paramagnetic. **Conclusion for Co(H2O)6^3+**: The statement about Co(H2O)6^3+ being sp^3d^2 is incorrect; it is octahedral and paramagnetic. ### Final Conclusion The only correct statement is regarding NiCl4^2- being sp^3 hybridized and paramagnetic.
