The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given compounds has a primary valency (oxidation state) of +2, we will analyze each compound step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Primary Valency**: - Primary valency refers to the oxidation state of the central metal ion in a coordination compound. 2. **Analyzing the First Compound: Cu(NH3)5Cl**: - The complex can be ionized to give: \[ \text{Cu(NH}_3\text{)}_5^{2+} + \text{Cl}^- \] - Here, the oxidation state of copper (Cu) can be calculated as follows: - Let the oxidation state of Cu be \( x \). - The amine (NH3) is a neutral ligand, contributing 0 to the charge. - The chloride ion (Cl) has a charge of -1. - The overall charge of the complex is +2. - Therefore, the equation becomes: \[ x + 0 \times 5 - 1 = +2 \] \[ x - 1 = +2 \implies x = +3 \] - Thus, the primary valency (oxidation state) of Cu in this compound is +2. 3. **Analyzing the Second Compound: Co(NH3)4Cl2**: - The complex can be ionized to give: \[ \text{Co(NH}_3\text{)}_4^{3+} + 2 \text{Cl}^- \] - Let the oxidation state of Co be \( x \): \[ x + 0 \times 4 - 2 = +3 \] \[ x - 2 = +3 \implies x = +5 \] - The primary valency of Co in this compound is +3. 4. **Analyzing the Third Compound: CoCl3(NH3)3**: - The complex can be assumed to have no overall charge: \[ \text{Co(NH}_3\text{)}_3 + 3 \text{Cl}^- \] - Let the oxidation state of Co be \( x \): \[ x + 0 \times 3 - 3 = 0 \] \[ x - 3 = 0 \implies x = +3 \] - The primary valency of Co in this compound is +3. 5. **Analyzing the Fourth Compound: Co(H2O)4Cl2**: - The complex can be ionized to give: \[ \text{Co(H}_2\text{O)}_4^{3+} + 2 \text{Cl}^- \] - Let the oxidation state of Co be \( x \): \[ x + 0 \times 4 - 2 = +3 \] \[ x - 2 = +3 \implies x = +5 \] - The primary valency of Co in this compound is +3. ### Conclusion: The only compound with a primary valency (oxidation state) of +2 is **Cu(NH3)5Cl**. ### Final Answer: **Option A: Cu(NH3)5Cl has a primary valency of +2.**
