The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes are not correctly matched with the hybridization of their central metal ion, we will analyze each complex one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze `[Ni(CO)4]` - **Metal Ion**: Nickel (Ni) - **Oxidation State**: In `[Ni(CO)4]`, CO is a neutral ligand, so Ni remains in the 0 oxidation state. - **Electronic Configuration**: Ni has an atomic number of 28, so its electronic configuration is `[Ar] 3d^8 4s^2`. - **Hybridization**: Since CO is a strong field ligand, it will cause pairing of electrons. The 4s and 3d orbitals will hybridize to form `sp^3` hybridization. - **Conclusion**: The hybridization of `[Ni(CO)4]` is correctly matched as `sp^3`. ### Step 2: Analyze `[Ni(CN)4]^(2-)` - **Metal Ion**: Nickel (Ni) - **Oxidation State**: In `[Ni(CN)4]^(2-)`, CN is a -1 ligand. Therefore, for the complex to be neutral, Ni must be in the +2 oxidation state. - **Electronic Configuration**: Ni in +2 state has the configuration `[Ar] 3d^8`. - **Hybridization**: CN is a strong field ligand, leading to pairing of electrons. The 3d orbitals will hybridize with the 4s orbital to form `dsp^2` hybridization. - **Conclusion**: The hybridization of `[Ni(CN)4]^(2-)` is incorrectly matched as `sp^3`, it should be `dsp^2`. ### Step 3: Analyze `[CoF6]^(3-)` - **Metal Ion**: Cobalt (Co) - **Oxidation State**: In `[CoF6]^(3-)`, F is a -1 ligand. Therefore, Co must be in the +3 oxidation state. - **Electronic Configuration**: Co in +3 state has the configuration `[Ar] 3d^6`. - **Hybridization**: Fluorine is a weak field ligand, so there will be no pairing. The 3d, 4s, and 4p orbitals will hybridize to form `sp^3d^2` hybridization. - **Conclusion**: The hybridization of `[CoF6]^(3-)` is incorrectly matched as `d^2sp^3`, it should be `sp^3d^2`. ### Step 4: Analyze `[Fe(CN)6]^(3-)` - **Metal Ion**: Iron (Fe) - **Oxidation State**: In `[Fe(CN)6]^(3-)`, CN is a -1 ligand. Therefore, Fe must be in the +3 oxidation state. - **Electronic Configuration**: Fe in +3 state has the configuration `[Ar] 3d^5`. - **Hybridization**: CN is a strong field ligand, leading to pairing of electrons. The 3d orbitals will hybridize with the 4s orbital to form `d^2sp^3` hybridization. - **Conclusion**: The hybridization of `[Fe(CN)6]^(3-)` is incorrectly matched as `sp^3d^2`, it should be `d^2sp^3`. ### Final Conclusion From the analysis: - (a) `[Ni(CO)4]` is correctly matched as `sp^3`. - (b) `[Ni(CN)4]^(2-)` is incorrectly matched as `sp^3` (should be `dsp^2`). - (c) `[CoF6]^(3-)` is incorrectly matched as `d^2sp^3` (should be `sp^3d^2`). - (d) `[Fe(CN)6]^(3-)` is incorrectly matched as `sp^3d^2` (should be `d^2sp^3`). Thus, the complexes that are not correctly matched with their hybridization are (b), (c), and (d). ### Answer The correct option is (b), (c), and (d) are not correctly matched with the hybridization of their central metal ion. ---
