The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements regarding coordination compounds are correct, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option 1 **Statement:** The stability constant of cobalt H₂O₆³⁺ is larger than the stability of cobalt H₂O₆²⁺ complex. **Explanation:** - The stability of a complex ion is influenced by the oxidation state of the central metal ion. - Cobalt in the +3 oxidation state (Co³⁺) has a higher charge compared to cobalt in the +2 oxidation state (Co²⁺). - The stability of a complex is directly proportional to the charge on the central metal ion. Therefore, Co³⁺ will form a more stable complex than Co²⁺. **Conclusion:** Option 1 is correct. ### Step 2: Analyze Option 2 **Statement:** The cyanocomplex is more stable than those formed by halide ions. **Explanation:** - The stability of a complex is also related to the basicity of the ligands involved. - Cyanide (CN⁻) is a stronger field ligand compared to halide ions (like Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻). - Since cyanide is more basic than halide ions, complexes formed with cyanide will be more stable than those formed with halides. **Conclusion:** Option 2 is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze Option 3 **Statement:** The stability of halide complexes follows the order iodide-bromide-chloride-fluoride. **Explanation:** - The stability of halide complexes is inversely related to the basicity of the halide ions. - The correct order of stability based on basicity is: F⁻ > Cl⁻ > Br⁻ > I⁻. - Thus, the stability of the complexes should follow the order: fluoride > chloride > bromide > iodide, which contradicts the given statement. **Conclusion:** Option 3 is incorrect. ### Step 4: Analyze Option 4 **Statement:** The stability constant of cobalt ammoniac complex (Co²⁺) is less than the copper chloride complex. **Explanation:** - For Co²⁺, the electronic configuration is d⁷, and for Cu²⁺, it is d⁹. - Generally, more d-electrons lead to less stability due to electron-electron repulsion. - Therefore, the cobalt complex (Co²⁺) is expected to be more stable than the copper chloride complex (Cu²⁺). **Conclusion:** Option 4 is incorrect. ### Final Conclusion The correct statements are: - Option 1: Correct - Option 2: Correct - Option 3: Incorrect - Option 4: Incorrect Thus, the answer is that only options 1 and 2 are correct. ---
