The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in hydrazine (N₂H₄), any one nitrogen atom can coordinate with a central metal cation in a coordination compound. - To analyze this, we need to look at the structure of N₂H₄. It consists of two nitrogen atoms connected by a single bond, with each nitrogen having two hydrogen atoms attached. Each nitrogen atom has a lone pair of electrons. 2. **Coordination Ability**: - Since each nitrogen atom has a lone pair, either nitrogen atom can donate its lone pair to a metal cation, allowing it to form a coordinate bond. Therefore, the assertion is correct. 3. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that N₂H₄ can act as an ambidentate ligand. - An ambidentate ligand is one that can coordinate to a metal center through two different atoms. For example, in the case of the cyanide ion (CN⁻), both carbon and nitrogen can act as donor atoms. 4. **Analysis of N₂H₄ as an Ambidentate Ligand**: - In N₂H₄, there are two nitrogen atoms, but they are not different donor atoms; they are the same type (both are nitrogen). Therefore, N₂H₄ does not have multiple different donor atoms to qualify as an ambidentate ligand. - Thus, the reason is incorrect. 5. **Conclusion**: - The assertion is correct because N₂H₄ can coordinate with a metal cation through either nitrogen atom. - The reason is incorrect because N₂H₄ does not qualify as an ambidentate ligand. ### Final Answer: - **Assertion**: Correct - **Reason**: Incorrect

To solve the given question, we will analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that in hydrazine (N₂H₄), any one nitrogen atom can coordinate with a central metal cation in a coordination compound. - To analyze this, we need to look at the structure of N₂H₄.
