The correct Answer is:
To determine the most stable ion among the given complexes, we need to analyze the types of ligands present in each option and their respective denticities. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Ligands and Denticity**: - Ligands can be classified based on the number of donor atoms they have. - **Monodentate ligands** have one donor atom (e.g., NH3, Cl-, H2O, SCN-). - **Bidentate ligands** have two donor atoms (e.g., oxalate, C2O4^2-). 2. **Identifying the Ligands in the Options**: - Option 1: Oxalate (C2O4^2-) - Bidentate ligand - Option 2: Chlorine (Cl-) - Monodentate ligand - Option 3: Water (H2O) - Monodentate ligand - Option 4: Thiocyanate (SCN-) - Monodentate ligand 3. **Analyzing Stability**: - Bidentate ligands like oxalate can form chelate rings when they bind to a central metal ion. This ring formation provides additional stability compared to monodentate ligands, which do not form such rings. - The chelating effect is a significant factor in the stability of coordination compounds. Bidentate and polydentate ligands create more stable complexes due to the formation of chelate rings. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since option 1 contains a bidentate ligand (oxalate), it is more stable than the complexes in options 2, 3, and 4, which contain monodentate ligands. - Therefore, the most stable ion among the given complexes is from option 1 (oxalate). ### Final Answer: The most stable ion is from option 1 (oxalate).

Nucleophilic substitution reactions generally expressed as Nu^(-) +R-L rarr R-Nu +L^(-) Where Nu^(-) rarr Nucleophile , R-L rarr substrate, L rarr leaving group The best leaving groups are those that become the most stable ions after they depart. since most leaving group leave as a negatibe ion, the best leaving groups are those ions that stabilize a negative charge most effectively. A good leaving group should be (a) electron-withdrawing to polarize the carbon (b) stable once it has left (not a strong base) (c) polaristable to maintain partial bonding with the carbon in the transition state (both S_(N)1 and S_(N)2) . This bonding helps to stabilise the transition state and reduces the activation energy. Among the following which is false statement?
