Match List-I with List-II.

List 1List 2
(A) [Cr(NH3)6]3+{{\left[ \text{Cr}{{\left( \text{N}{{\text{H}}_{3}} \right)}_{6}} \right]}^{3+}}(I) 4.90
(B) [NiCl4]2−{{\left[ \text{NiC}{{\text{l}}_{4}} \right]}^{2-}}(II) 3.87
(C) [CoF6]3−{{\left[ \text{Co}{{\text{F}}_{6}} \right]}^{3-}}(III) 0.0
(D) [Ni(CN)4]2−{{\left[ \text{Ni}{{(\text{CN})}_{4}} \right]}^{2-}}(IV) 2.83

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. Option A:

    (A)-(I), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(III)

  2. Option B:

    (A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(II)

  3. Option C:

    (A)-(II), (B)-(IV), (C)-(I), (D)-(III)

    Correct
  4. Option D:

    (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)

Answer: C

Step-by-step solution

(A) [Cr(NH3)6]3+\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}

Cr3+:3 d3\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}: 3 \mathrm{~d}^{3}

n=3\mathrm{n}=3 (unpaired electrons) μ≃3.87\mu \simeq 3.87 B.M. (II)

(B) [NiCl4]2−\left[\mathrm{NiCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}

Ni2+:3 d8\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}: 3 \mathrm{~d}^{8}

n=2\mathrm{n}=2

μ≃2.83\mu \simeq 2.83 B.M. (IV)

(C) [CoF6]3−\left[\mathrm{CoF}_{6}\right]^{3-}

Co3+:3 d6\mathrm{Co}^{3+}: 3 \mathrm{~d}^{6}

n=4\mathrm{n}=4 μ≃4.90\mu \simeq 4.90 B.M. (I)

(D) [Ni(CN)4]2−\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}

Ni2+:3 d8\mathrm{Ni}^{2+}: 3 \mathrm{~d}^{8}

n=0\mathrm{n}=0 μ=0\mu=0 B.M. (III)
