NEET Chemistry Coordination Number MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about coordination compounds is correct?
The hybridization in square planar complexes is dsp2.
All tetrahedral complexes exhibit geometrical isomerism.
The color of a complex is determined solely by its metal ion.
Octahedral complexes cannot exhibit facial and meridional isomerism.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Square planar complexes, such as [Ni(CN)4]²⁻, involve dsp² hybridization, leading to their diamagnetic nature. Tetrahedral complexes do not show geometrical isomerism due to their symmetry, and the color of a complex is influenced by both the metal ion and the ligands.
