NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about coordination compounds is correct?
Square planar complexes typically involve dsp2 hybridization.
All coordination compounds exhibit optical isomerism.
Ligands in coordination compounds only form sigma bonds.
The presence of unpaired electrons is common in diamagnetic complexes.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Square planar complexes, such as [Ni(CN)4]2–, involve dsp2 hybridization as indicated in the NCERT context. In contrast, optical isomerism is not present in all coordination compounds, and ligands can form both sigma and pi bonds, while diamagnetic complexes do not have unpaired electrons.
