The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the complex \([Co(NH_3)_6][Cr(CN)_6]\), we will analyze each statement provided and determine their validity step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the complex The complex given is \([Co(NH_3)_6][Cr(CN)_6]\). It consists of two coordination complexes: one with cobalt and the other with chromium. ### Step 2: Determine the oxidation states 1. **Cobalt complex**: - The ligand \(NH_3\) is neutral, so the oxidation state of cobalt can be calculated as follows: \[ x + 6(0) = +3 \quad \text{(where x is the oxidation state of Co)} \] - Thus, the oxidation state of cobalt is \(+3\). 2. **Chromium complex**: - The ligand \(CN^-\) has a charge of \(-1\). Therefore, for the chromium complex: \[ y + 6(-1) = 0 \quad \text{(where y is the oxidation state of Cr)} \] - Solving gives: \[ y - 6 = 0 \implies y = +6 \] - Thus, the oxidation state of chromium is \(+6\). ### Step 3: Determine the overall charge of the complex - The overall charge of the complex is the sum of the charges from both coordination spheres: - Cobalt complex: \(+3\) - Chromium complex: \(0\) (since it is neutral) Thus, the overall charge of the complex is \(+3\). ### Step 4: Evaluate each statement 1. **Statement (1)**: It is a non-electrolyte. - **False**: The complex can dissociate into ions, so it is an electrolyte. 2. **Statement (2)**: The magnitude of the charge on each complex is \(3\). - **True**: The cobalt complex has a charge of \(+3\). 3. **Statement (3)**: The complex will not conduct current. - **False**: Since it can dissociate into ions, it can conduct electricity. 4. **Statement (4)**: The complex will exhibit coordination isomerism. - **True**: The two coordination spheres can interchange ligands, allowing for isomerism. 5. **Statement (5)**: The magnitude of the charge on each complex ion is \(1\). - **False**: The charge is \(3\) for the cobalt complex. ### Conclusion The true statements are (2) and (4). Therefore, the answer is: **Correct options: (2) and (4)**.
