Q 17 In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a
statement of Reason (R) is given. Choose the correct option out of the following
choices.
(a) Assertion and Reason both are true, Reason is the correct explanation of
Assertion. (b) Assertion and Reason both are true but Reason is not the correct
explanation of Assertion. (c) Assertion is true, Reason is false. (d) Assertion is
false, Reason is true.
(I) . Assertion(A) : According to crystal field theory during complex formation, the d –
orbitals split and form two sets of orbitals t2g and eg.
Reason(R) : Splitting of d - orbitals occurs only in case of strong field ligands. (Ans - c)
(2). Assertion(A) : [Fe(H2O)6] 2+ is sp3 d 2 hybridised and paramagnetic complex ion.
Reason(R) : It has four unpaired electrons.
(3) Assertion(A) : Low spin tetrahedral complexes are not formed.
Reason(R) : For tetrahedral complexes, CFSE is lower than pairing energy.
(4) Assertion(A) : [FeF6] 3- is paramagnetic.
Reason (R): F- is a weak field ligand, hence does not cause pairing of electrons.
Q.18 CASE STUDY :
The two series of inner transition elements, Lanthanoid and actinides constitute the f
block of the periodic table. With the successive filling of inner orbitals, 4f, there is a
gradual decrease in the atomic and iconic sizes of the metals along the series
(Lanthanoid contraction). This contraction is similar to the observed in a ordinary
transition series and it attributed to the same cause, the imperfect shielding on
electron by another in this sub-shell due to shapes of these f- orbitals. The almost
identical radii of Zr and Hf a consequence of the Lanthanoid contraction.
The typical oxidation state of Lanthanoid is +3. The oxidation states of +2 and +4 are
exhibited by some of the elements to acquire a stable electronic configuration of f0,
f7 or f14.
