The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is wrong, let's analyze each statement one by one. ### Step 1: Analyze Statement A **Statement A:** "Zs salt is sp3 hybridized and tetrahedral." - **Understanding Zs Salt:** The formula of Zs salt is K[PtCl3(C2H4)]·H2O. - **Hybridization and Geometry:** Platinum (Pt) is a transition metal from the 5D series. In the presence of strong field ligands (like Cl- and C2H4), the coordination number is 4, leading to a square planar geometry. - **Conclusion:** The correct hybridization for Zs salt is **Dsp2**, not **sp3**. Therefore, this statement is **wrong**. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement B **Statement B:** "Coordination number of Fe in ferrocene is 2." - **Understanding Ferrocene:** Ferrocene has a sandwich structure where iron (Fe) is sandwiched between two cyclopentadienyl (C5H5) rings. - **Coordination Number Calculation:** Each cyclopentadienyl ring donates 5 electrons to the Fe atom, resulting in a total of 10 coordination sites. - **Conclusion:** The coordination number of Fe in ferrocene is **10**, not **2**. Therefore, this statement is also **wrong**. ### Step 3: Analyze Statement C **Statement C:** "EAN of Mn in Mn2(CO)10 is 35." - **Understanding EAN (Effective Atomic Number):** EAN is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{EAN} = Z + 2n + b \] where \( Z \) is the atomic number of the metal, \( n \) is the number of ligands, and \( b \) is the number of bonds between metal atoms. - **Calculating EAN for Mn2(CO)10:** - Atomic number of Mn = 25 - Each Mn is coordinated to 5 CO ligands, so \( n = 5 \). - There is 1 bond between the two Mn atoms, so \( b = 1 \). - Plugging in the values: \[ \text{EAN} = 25 + 2(5) + 1 = 25 + 10 + 1 = 36 \] - **Conclusion:** The EAN of Mn in Mn2(CO)10 is **36**, not **35**. Therefore, this statement is also **wrong**. ### Final Conclusion Since all three statements (A, B, and C) are incorrect, the answer is that **all of the above statements are wrong**. ### Summary of Answers: - **Statement A:** Wrong (correct hybridization is Dsp2) - **Statement B:** Wrong (coordination number of Fe in ferrocene is 10) - **Statement C:** Wrong (EAN of Mn in Mn2(CO)10 is 36)
