[SiF(6)]^(2-) is known where as [SiCI(6)...

`[SiF_(6)]^(2-)` is known where as `[SiCI_(6)]^(2-)` does not exist because
I) Six large chloride ions cannot be accommodated around `Si^(4+)`
II) Ineraction between lone pair of chloride ion and  `Si^(4+)` is not very strong
III) Silicon is less electronegative than chlorine
IV)  `Si^(4+)` and `Cl^(-)` ions have same size 

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The main reasons are :
(i)Six large chloride ions cannot be accommodated arounf `Si^(4+)` due to limitation of its size.
(ii)Interaction between one pair of chloride ion `Si^(4+)` is not vry strong .

Passage-IV : Sulphur and rest of the elements of group 16 are less electronegative than oxygen. Therefore, their atoms cannot take up electrons easily. They can acquire ns^(2)np^(6) configuration by sharing two electrons with the atoms of other elements and thus, exhibit +2 oxidation state in their compounds. In addition to this, their atoms have vacant d-orbitals in their valence shell to which electrons can be promoted from the p and s-orbitals of the shell. As a result, they can show +4 and +6 oxidation states shell. Like sulphur, oxygen does not show +4 and +6 oxidation states. The reason is :

Complex compounds are molecular compounds which retain their indentities even when dissolved in water. They do not give all the simple ions in solution but instead furnish complex ions. The complex compounds are often called coordination compounds because certain groups called ligands are attached to the central metal ion by coordinate or dative bonds. Coordination compounds exhibit isomerism, both structural and stereoisomerism. The struculre, magnetic property, colour and electrical properties of complexes are explained by various theories. Arrange the following compounds in order of of their molar conductance : i) K[Co(NO_(2))_(4)(NH_(3))_(2)] ii) [Cr(ONO)_(3)(NH_(3))_(3)] iii) [Cr(NO_(2))(NH_(3))_(5)]_(3)[Co(NO_(2))_(6)]_(2) iv) Mg[Cr(NO_(2))_(5)(NH_(3))]

In octahedral complexes having co-ordination number 6, the degeneracy of the d-orbitals of central atom is removed due to ligand electron metal electron repulsions. In the octahedral complex three orbitals have lower energy, t_(2g) set and two orbitals have higher energy, eg set. This phenomenon is formed as crystal field splitting and the energy seperation is denoted by Delta_(0) . Thus the energy of the two eg orbitals will increase by (3//5)Delta_(0) and that of the three t_(2g) will decrease by (2//5)Delta_(0) . The erystal field splitling, Delta_(0) depends upon the field produced by the ligand and charge on the metal ion. Some ligands are able to produce strong field and in these cases, the splitting will be large whereas other produce weak fields and consequently result in small splitting of d-orbitals. Predict the order of Delta_(0) for the following compound i) [Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(+2) ii) [Fe(CN)2(H_(2)O)_(4) iii) [Fe(CN)_(4)(H_(2)O)_(2)]^(2-)

Hydrogen bonding is said to be formed, -when sightly acidic hydrogen-atom attached to a strongly, electronegative fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom. is held with weak. electrostatic forces by the non-bonded pair of electrons of another atom. The co-ordination number of hydrogen in such cases is two. It acts as a bridge between two atoms, to one of which it is covalently bonded and to other attached through electrostatic forces, also called hydrogen bond. Though the hydrogen atoms in a methyl group are not polarised, if an electronegative group like chloro, carbonyl, nitro or cyano (in order to increase electronegativity) is attached to it, the C-H bond gets polarised due to the inductive effect and the hydrogen atom becomes slightly acidic resulting in the formation of weak hydrogen bonds. Though a weak bond the H-bond effects is large number of the physical properties of compounds some of which are - Boiling points of liquids - Solubility of polar compounds in polar solvents (containig H attached with strong electronegative atom) - Viscosity of liquids . Acidity Which of the following combinations can involve hydrogen bonding I) Mixture of KF and HF " " II) Mixture of CH_(3)COCH_(3) and CHCI_(3) III) Mixture of NH_(4) CI and H_(2)O" " IV) Mixture of CH_(3) and H_(2)O

The only electron in the hydrogen atom resides under ordinary conditions on the first orbit. When energy is supplied, the electron moves to higher energy orbit depending on the amount of energy absorbed. When this electron returns to any of the lower orbits, it emits energy. Lyman series is formed when the electron returns to the lowest orbit while Balmer series is formed when the electron returns to second orbit. Similarly, Paschen, Brackett and Pfund series are formed when electron returns to the third, fourth orbits from higher energy orbits respectively (as shown in figure) Maximum number of lines produced when an electron jumps from nth level to ground level is equal to (n(n-1))/(2) . For example, in the case of n = 4, number of lines produced is 6. (4 rarr 3, 4 rarr 2, 4 rarr 1, 3 rarr 2, 3 rarr 1, 2 rarr 1) . When an electron returns from n_(2) to n_(1) state, the number of lines in the spectrum will be equal to ((n_(2) - n_(1))(n_(2)-n_(1) +1))/(2) If the electron comes back from energy level having energy E_(2) to energy level having energy E_(2) then the difference may be expressed in terms of energy of photon as E_(2) - E_(1) = Delta E, lambda = (h c)/(Delta E) . Since h and c are constant, Delta E corresponds to definite energy, thus each transition from one energy level to another will prouce a higher of definite wavelength. THis is actually observed as a line in the spectrum of hydrogen atom. Wave number of the line is given by the formula bar(v) = RZ^(2)((1)/(n_(1)^(2)) - (1)/(n_(2)^(2))) Where R is a Rydberg constant (R = 1.1 xx 10^(7)) (i) First line of a series : it is called .line of logest wavelength. or .line of shortest energy.. (ii) Series limit of last of a series : It is the line of shortest wavelength or line of highest energy. The wave number of electromagnetic radiation emitted during the transition of electron in between two levels of Li^(2+) ion whose principal quantum numbers sum if 4 and difference is 2 is
