JEE Main 2025 — 8 April, Evening Shift — Question 4

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

Statement I: A homoleptic octahedral complex, formed using monodentate ligands, will not show stereoisomers

Statement II: cis and trans platin are heteroleptic complexes of Pd

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

Option A:
Both Statement I and Statemnet II are true
Option B:
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Correct
Option C:
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Option D:
Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Ma6] type complex will not show stereoisomerism, where $a$ is monodentate ligand

Cis and trans-platin are heterolytic complexes of $\mathrm{Pt}(\mathrm{Platinum})$ . Formula is $\left[\mathrm{Pt}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\right]$
