Section-D
The following questions are case-based questions. Read the case carefully and answer the
questions that follow:
o.29. extent
The nature of bonding, structure of the coordination compound can be explained to some
by valence bond theory. The central metal atom/ion makes available a number
of vacant orbitals equal to its coordination number. The appropriate atomic orbitals
(s, p and d) of the metal hybridise to give a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry
such as square planar, tetrahedral, octahedral and so on. A strong covalent bond is formed
only when the orbitals overlap to the maximum extent. The d-orbitals involved in the
hybridisation may be either inner d-orbitals i.e. (n -1) d or outer d-orbitals i.e. nd. The
complexes formed are called inner orbital complex (low spin complex) and outer orbital
complex (high spin complex) respectively. Further, the complexes can be paramagnetic
or diamagnetic in nature. The drawbacks of this theory are that this involves number of
assumptions and also does not explain the colour of the complex.
Answer the following questions:
(a) Predict whether [CoF;]3- is diamagnetic or paramagnetic and why?
[Atomicnumber: Co= 27] 1

(b) What is the coordination number of Co in [Co(en),CI,?

(c) )Write the IUPAC name of the given complex:

(c) Using valence bond theory, deduce the shape and hybridisation of [Ni(NH;)%]2*2
[Atomic number of Ni = 28].
Q.30. In a galvanic cell, chemical energy of a redox reaction is covered into electrical energy,
whereas in an electrolyticcell the redox reaction occurs on passing electricity. The simplest

The two solutions are joined by a salt bridge. The difference between the two
