JEE Main 2025 — 2 April, Morning Shift — Question 7

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Statement I and the other is labelled as Statement II:

Statement I: In octahedral complexes, when $\Delta_{0}$ $<\mathrm{P}$ high spin complex are formed.

Statement II: In tetrahedral complexes because of $\Delta_{t} < P$ high spin complex are formed.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Answer: A

When $\Delta_{0} < P \Rightarrow$ No Pairing

$\Rightarrow$ High spin complex

When $\Delta_{0} > P \Rightarrow$ Pairing

$\Rightarrow$ Low spin complex

Statement-I is correct

In tetrahedral complexes, c

$\Rightarrow$ High spin complexes are generally observed

$\Rightarrow$ Low spin complexes are rarely observed

$\Rightarrow$ Statement-II is correct
