The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which statement is correct, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement regarding Na2Fe(CN)5NO - The complex is Na2Fe(CN)5NO. - The overall charge of the complex is -2 (due to Na2). - Let the oxidation state of iron (Fe) be \(X\). - Each cyanide (CN) has an oxidation state of -1, and there are 5 cyanides, contributing -5. - The nitrosyl (NO) has an oxidation state of +1. - Setting up the equation for the charge balance: \[ X - 5 + 1 = -2 \] Simplifying gives: \[ X - 4 = -2 \implies X = +2 \] - Therefore, the oxidation state of iron in this complex is +2, not +3. This statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement regarding Ag(NH3)2^+ - The complex is Ag(NH3)2^+. - Ammonia (NH3) is a neutral ligand and coordinates to silver (Ag) through lone pair donation. - The geometry of this complex is linear because it involves two ligands arranged around the central metal atom. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement regarding [Fe(H2O)6]^(3+) - The complex is [Fe(H2O)6]^(3+). - Water (H2O) is a weak field ligand, which means it does not cause pairing of electrons. - For Fe^(3+), the electronic configuration is [Ar] 3d^5. - Since water does not cause pairing, the hybridization is sp^3d^2, not d^2sp^3. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement regarding Ni(CO)4 - The complex is Ni(CO)4. - Carbon monoxide (CO) is a neutral ligand. - Therefore, the oxidation state of nickel (Ni) in this complex is 0. - The statement claiming the oxidation state of nickel is +1 is **incorrect**. ### Conclusion The only correct statement among the options provided is the second one regarding Ag(NH3)2^+, which is linear in shape. ### Final Answer The correct statement is: **Ag(NH3)2^+ is linear in shape.** ---
