NEET Chemistry Coordination Number Match the Following Question
Match Column-I with Column-II.
| Column-I | Column-II |
|---|---|
| (a) Coordination number 4 | (i) [Co(NH3)6]3+ |
| (b) Coordination number 6 | (ii) [Ni(CO)4] |
| (c) Square planar geometry | (iii) [Ni(CN)4]2- |
| (d) Tetrahedral geometry | (iv) [Fe(CN)6]4- |
a-ii, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
a-iv, b-i, c-ii, d-iii
a-ii, b-iv, c-iii, d-i
a-iii, b-i, c-iv, d-ii
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The coordination number is determined by the number of sigma bonds formed by ligands with the central atom. [Ni(CO)4] has a coordination number of 4 with tetrahedral geometry, while [Fe(CN)6]4- has a coordination number of 6 and octahedral geometry, matching the respective pairs in option A.
