Match the complex ions in List-I with their corresponding hybridization in List-II.
List-I (Complex ion) (A) (B) (C) (D)
List-II (Hybridisation) (I) (II) (III) (IV)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(A)-(IV), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
(A)-(III), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(II)
(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)
(A)-(III), (B)-(IV), (C)-(II), (D)-(I)
According to Valence Bond Theory : (A) : The central metal ion is with a configuration. is a strong field ligand, causing the pairing of unpaired electrons. This vacates one orbital. The hybridization is forming a square planar complex . (B) : The central metal ion is with a configuration. is a weak field ligand, so no pairing of electrons occurs. It uses outer orbitals for hybridization, which is (outer orbital octahedral complex) . (C) : The central metal ion is (). The oxalate ion () acts as a strong field ligand for causing pairing of electrons. It uses inner orbitals for hybridization, which is (inner orbital octahedral complex) . (D) : The central metal ion is (). is a weak field ligand, so no pairing occurs. The hybridization involves one and three orbitals, resulting in hybridization (tetrahedral complex) . Therefore, the correct matching is A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I.
