The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements provided and determine their validity based on the principles of coordination chemistry, particularly focusing on stability and chelation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Statement 1**: - The first statement claims that `Co(NH3)6^(+3)` is more stable than `(Co(en)2(NH3)2)^(+3)`. - `Co(NH3)6^(+3)` is a complex with six unidentate ammonia ligands. - `(Co(en)2(NH3)2)^(+3)` is a complex with two bidentate ethylenediamine (en) ligands and two unidentate ammonia ligands. 2. **Understanding Chelation**: - Chelation refers to the formation of a stable ring structure when a bidentate ligand (like en) binds to a metal ion. - Bidentate ligands can form more stable complexes due to the chelate effect, which is the increased stability of a complex due to the formation of multiple bonds between the ligand and the metal ion. 3. **Comparing Stability**: - The stability of coordination complexes can be influenced by the nature of the ligands. Bidentate ligands typically form more stable complexes than unidentate ligands. - In this case, `(Co(en)2(NH3)2)^(+3)` has two bidentate ligands, which should provide greater stability compared to `Co(NH3)6^(+3)` which has only unidentate ligands. 4. **Conclusion on Statement 1**: - Therefore, Statement 1 is **false** because `Co(NH3)6^(+3)` is not more stable than `(Co(en)2(NH3)2)^(+3)`. 5. **Understanding Statement 2**: - The second statement claims that chelation is more in `[Co(en)2(NH3)2]^(+3)` than in `[Co(NH3)6]^(+3)`. - Since `[Co(en)2(NH3)2]^(+3)` contains bidentate ligands (en), it indeed exhibits chelation, while `[Co(NH3)6]^(+3)` does not exhibit any chelation as it only contains unidentate ligands. 6. **Conclusion on Statement 2**: - Therefore, Statement 2 is **true** as `[Co(en)2(NH3)2]^(+3)` has more chelation due to the presence of bidentate ligands. ### Final Answer: - Statement 1 is false, and Statement 2 is true. Thus, the correct option is **D**: Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
