The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of matching the complex ions with their geometries, we will analyze each complex ion one by one: ### Step 1: Analyze `[Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺` 1. **Determine the oxidation state of Ag**: - Ammonia (NH₃) is a neutral ligand, so the oxidation state of Ag in `[Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺` is +1. 2. **Electronic configuration of Ag**: - Silver (Ag) has an atomic number of 47, and its electronic configuration is [Kr] 4d¹⁰ 5s². In the +1 oxidation state, it loses one electron, resulting in [Kr] 4d¹⁰. 3. **Hybridization**: - With two ligands (NH₃), the hybridization is sp, leading to a linear geometry. 4. **Conclusion**: The geometry is correctly stated as linear. ### Step 2: Analyze `[MnCl₄]²⁺` 1. **Determine the oxidation state of Mn**: - Chlorine (Cl) has a -1 charge. Therefore, for `[MnCl₄]²⁺`, we have \( x + 4(-1) = +2 \) → \( x = +2 \). 2. **Electronic configuration of Mn**: - Manganese (Mn) has an atomic number of 25, with the configuration [Ar] 3d⁵ 4s². In the +2 state, it becomes [Ar] 3d⁵. 3. **Hybridization**: - With four ligands (Cl), the hybridization is sp³, which corresponds to a tetrahedral geometry. 4. **Conclusion**: The geometry is correctly stated as tetrahedral. ### Step 3: Analyze `[Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺` 1. **Determine the oxidation state of Cu**: - Again, NH₃ is neutral, so for `[Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺`, we have \( x + 0 = +2 \) → \( x = +2 \). 2. **Electronic configuration of Cu**: - Copper (Cu) has an atomic number of 29, with the configuration [Ar] 3d¹⁰ 4s¹. In the +2 state, it becomes [Ar] 3d⁹. 3. **Hybridization**: - With four ligands (NH₃), and since NH₃ is a strong field ligand, the hybridization is dsp², leading to a square planar geometry. 4. **Conclusion**: The geometry is correctly stated as square planar. ### Step 4: Analyze `[Ni(CN)₄]²⁻` 1. **Determine the oxidation state of Ni**: - Cyanide (CN) has a -1 charge. Therefore, for `[Ni(CN)₄]²⁻`, we have \( x + 4(-1) = -2 \) → \( x = +2 \). 2. **Electronic configuration of Ni**: - Nickel (Ni) has an atomic number of 28, with the configuration [Ar] 3d⁸ 4s². In the +2 state, it becomes [Ar] 3d⁸. 3. **Hybridization**: - With four ligands (CN), which are also strong field ligands, the hybridization is dsp², leading to a square planar geometry. 4. **Conclusion**: The geometry is correctly stated as square planar. ### Final Conclusion After analyzing all four complex ions, we find that all the geometries provided are correct: 1. `[Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺` - Linear 2. `[MnCl₄]²⁺` - Tetrahedral 3. `[Cu(NH₃)₄]²⁺` - Square planar 4. `[Ni(CN)₄]²⁻` - Square planar Thus, the correct answer is that all the matches are correct.
