The correct Answer is:
To determine how many of the statements about the complex ion \([Ni(H_2O)_6]^{+2}\) are true, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement (i): The complex is octahedral in shape.** - The coordination number of \([Ni(H_2O)_6]^{+2}\) is 6, which typically results in an octahedral geometry. - **Conclusion:** True. 2. **Statement (ii): The complex is diamagnetic in nature.** - The electronic configuration of \(Ni^{+2}\) is \(3d^8\). In an octahedral field, the \(d\) orbitals split into two sets. Filling the \(d\) orbitals will result in 2 unpaired electrons. - **Conclusion:** False (the complex is paramagnetic). 3. **Statement (iii): \(Ni^{+2}\) has an incompletely filled 3d subshell.** - As noted, \(Ni^{+2}\) has the configuration \(3d^8\), which is indeed incompletely filled. - **Conclusion:** True. 4. **Statement (iv): The secondary valency of \(Ni^{+2}\) is 6.** - The secondary valency corresponds to the coordination number, which is 6 in this case. - **Conclusion:** True. 5. **Statement (v): All the bonds (metal-ligand) are perpendicular to each other.** - In an octahedral complex, the ligand bonds are not perpendicular to each other; they are at 90 degrees to each other in pairs. - **Conclusion:** False. 6. **Statement (vi): All the 3d orbitals of \(Ni^{+2}\) are degenerate.** - In an octahedral field, the \(d\) orbitals split into two sets (t2g and eg), so they are not degenerate. - **Conclusion:** False. 7. **Statement (vii): Total spin of the complex is 1.** - With 2 unpaired electrons, the total spin \(S\) is calculated as \(S = \frac{n}{2}\), where \(n\) is the number of unpaired electrons. Here, \(S = \frac{2}{2} = 1\). - **Conclusion:** True. 8. **Statement (viii): The hybridization of \(Ni^{+2}\) is \(d^2sp^3\).** - The correct hybridization for a coordination number of 6 is \(sp^3d^2\). - **Conclusion:** False. 9. **Statement (ix): The complex is more stable than \([Ni(en)_3]^{+2}\).** - Ethylenediamine (en) is a bidentate ligand, which typically forms more stable complexes due to chelation. Thus, \([Ni(en)_3]^{+2}\) is more stable than \([Ni(H_2O)_6]^{+2}\). - **Conclusion:** False. 10. **Statement (x): Effective atomic number of \(Ni^{+2}\) is 36.** - The effective atomic number (EAN) is calculated as: \[ EAN = Z - n + 2L \] where \(Z\) is the atomic number (28 for Ni), \(n\) is the charge (+2), and \(L\) is the number of ligands (6). Thus, \[ EAN = 28 - 2 + 12 = 38. \] - **Conclusion:** False. ### Summary of True Statements: - True Statements: (i), (iii), (iv), (vii) - Total True Statements: 4 ### Final Answer: The total number of true statements is **4**.
