The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the assertion and the reason provided in the context of coordination chemistry. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion:** - The assertion states that "dien is a bidentate ligand." - "dien" refers to diethylene triamine, which has the formula NH2CH2CH2NHCH2CH2NH2. - A bidentate ligand is defined as a ligand that can donate two pairs of electrons to a central metal atom. 2. **Analyzing the Structure of dien:** - Diethylene triamine contains three nitrogen atoms, each of which has a lone pair of electrons. - This means that dien can potentially donate three pairs of electrons, making it a tridentate ligand rather than a bidentate ligand. 3. **Understanding the Reason:** - The reason states that "dien donates two pairs of electrons." - Since dien has three nitrogen atoms, it can donate three pairs of electrons, not just two. 4. **Conclusion:** - The assertion that "dien is a bidentate ligand" is incorrect because it is actually a tridentate ligand. - The reason that "dien donates two pairs of electrons" is also incorrect because it can donate three pairs of electrons. - Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false statements. ---
