The correct statements from the following are: [2024]
A. The strength of anionic ligands can be explained by crystal field theory.
B. Valence bond theory does not give a quantitative interpretation of kinetic stability of coordination compounds.
C. The hybridization involved in the formation of complex is .
D. The number of possible isomer(s) of cis-is one.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
B, C only
A, C only
A, D only
B, D only
(1)
(A) Crystal field theory helps us in arranging the ligands in increasing order of their crystal field splitting strength.
(B) Valence bond theory does not give a quantitative interpretation of the thermodynamic or kinetic stabilities of coordination compounds.
(C)
Oxidation number of Ni = +2
is a strong field ligand, hence it causes pairing of electrons, then causes hybridization using 3d, 4s, and 4p orbitals.
(D) cis- has a pair of enantiomers.
