AIIMS 2018 Chemistry Zeise’s Salt MCQ Question
Assertion: In zieses salt coordination no. of Pt is five
Reason: ethene is bidentate ligand.
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
If assertion is true but reason is false.
If both assertion and reason are false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Zeise’s Salt, chemically known as potassium ethylene dichloroplatinate(II) (K[PtCl₂(C₂H₄)]), is a complex formed by the coordination of ethylene (C₂H₄) to platinum(II) chloride. This compound is significant in organometallic chemistry due to its ability to engage in reactions that demonstrate the principles of coordination chemistry and the behavior of π-acceptor ligands. The other options are not relevant as they do not pertain to the chemical identity or properties of Zeise’s Salt, which is specifically characterized by its platinum coordination complex.
