NEET Chemistry Coordination Number MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Easy-Class 12
Which of the following statements about coordination compounds is correct?
A
The hybridization in square planar complexes is dsp2.
B
All tetrahedral complexes exhibit geometrical isomerism.
C
The color of a complex is determined solely by its metal ion.
D
Octahedral complexes cannot exhibit facial and meridional isomerism.
Correct Answer
Option A
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.
