Q21 mcq
According to crystal field theory, $\text{Ni}^{2+}$ can have two unpaired electrons in
a.
Octahedral geometry only
b.
Square-planar geometry only
c.
Tetrahedral geometry only
d.
Both octahedral and tetrahedral geometry. Correct Answer
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
$ ext{Ni}^{2+}$ has a $d^8$ electronic configuration. - In an octahedral field, the splitting gives $t_{2g}^6 e_g^2$, which has $2$ unpaired electrons regardless of ligand field strength. - In a tetrahedral field, the splitting gives $e^4 t_2^4$, which also has $2$ unpaired electrons according to Hund's rule. - In a square-planar geometry, low-spin configuration is favored, resulting in all $8$ electrons being paired (diamagnetic, $0$ unpaired electrons). Therefore, $ ext{Ni}^{2+}$ has two unpaired electrons in both octahedral and tetrahedral geometries.
Q22 mcq
$[\text{Ni}(\text{CN})_4]^{2-}$ and $[\text{NiCl}_4]^{2-}$ complex ions are
a.
Both diamagnetic
b.
Both paramagnetic
c.
Diamagnetic and paramagnetic respectively Correct Answer
d.
Antiferromagnetic and diamagnetic respectively
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
In $[ ext{Ni}( ext{CN})_4]^{2-}$, $ ext{Ni}^{2+}$ is a $d^8$ ion with $ ext{CN}^-$ as a strong-field ligand, resulting in a square-planar, low-spin complex ($dsp^2$) with no unpaired electrons ($n = 0$), making it diamagnetic. In $[ ext{NiCl}_4]^{2-}$, $ ext{Cl}^-$ is a weak-field ligand, giving a tetrahedral complex ($sp^3$) with configuration $e^4 t_2^4$, which has two unpaired electrons ($n = 2$), making it paramagnetic. Thus, the complexes are diamagnetic and paramagnetic, respectively.
Q23 mcq
Which of the following spectroscopic techniques will be useful to distinguish between M-SCN and M-NCS binding modes?
a.
NMR
b.
IR Correct Answer
c.
EPR
d.
Mass
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is the classic and most effective technique for distinguishing between linkage isomers involving thiocyanate ($-\text{SCN}^-$) and isothiocyanate ($-\text{NCS}^-$) ligands: - The $\text{C-N}$ stretching frequency, $\nu(\text{CN})$, occurs at higher wavenumbers for S-bonded complexes (typically above $2100\text{ cm}^{-1}$, often sharp) compared to N-bonded complexes (typically below $2100\text{ cm}^{-1}$, usually broad and intense). - More definitively, the $\nu(\text{CS})$ stretching frequency appears around $780 - 860\text{ cm}^{-1}$ for M-NCS and down around $690 - 720\text{ cm}^{-1}$ for M-SCN. - The $\delta(\text{NCS})$ bending modes also show characteristic differences (around $470 - 490\text{ cm}^{-1}$ for N-bonded vs. $410 - 440\text{ cm}^{-1}$ for S-bonded). Therefore, IR spectroscopy (Option B) is the technique used to distinguish between these binding modes.
Q24 mcq
Which of the following compound show a charge-transfer band?
a.
Lanthanum nitrate
b.
Ceric ammonium nitrate Correct Answer
c.
Manganese (II) acetate
d.
Copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Ceric ammonium nitrate contains $\text{Ce}^{4+}$, which has a noble-gas $4f^0$ configuration. Because it has no $d$ or $f$ electrons, it cannot undergo $d-d$ or $f-f$ transitions. Its intense orange-yellow color arises from a Ligand-to-Metal Charge Transfer (LMCT) transition from the nitrate ligands to the empty $\text{Ce}^{4+}$ orbitals.
Q25 mcq
Among $\text{SF}_4, \text{BF}_4^-, \text{XeF}_4$ and $\text{ICl}_4^-$ the number of species having two lone pair of electrons on the central atom according to VSEPR theory is:
a.
2 Correct Answer
b.
3
c.
4
d.
0
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Using VSEPR theory to find the number of lone pairs ($lp$) on the central atom: - $\text{SF}_4$: Sulfur has 6 valence electrons; forms 4 single bonds $\implies lp = (6 - 4)/2 = 1$ lone pair. - $\text{BF}_4^-$: Boron has 3 valence electrons $+ 1$ negative charge $= 4$; forms 4 single bonds $\implies lp = (4 - 4)/2 = 0$ lone pairs. - $\text{XeF}_4$: Xenon has 8 valence electrons; forms 4 single bonds $\implies lp = (8 - 4)/2 = 2$ lone pairs. - $\text{ICl}_4^-$: Iodine has 7 valence electrons $+ 1$ negative charge $= 8$; forms 4 single bonds $\implies lp = (8 - 4)/2 = 2$ lone pairs. Thus, only $\text{XeF}_4$ and $\text{ICl}_4^-$ have 2 lone pairs of electrons, making a total of 2 species.
Q26 mcq
The FALSE statement for a polarographic measurement procedure is:
a.
$\text{O}_2$ is removed
b.
Dropping mercury electrode is working electrode.
c.
$\text{I}_d$ is proportionaal to concentation of electroactive species.
d.
Residual current is made zero by adding supporting electrolyte. Correct Answer
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Statement D is false. The addition of an excess of supporting electrolyte eliminates the migration current (by carrying nearly all the charge through the solution), not the residual current. The residual current consists of the faradaic current from trace impurities and the charging (capacitive) current of the mercury drop, which cannot be eliminated merely by adding supporting electrolyte.
Q27 mcq
The ligand system present in vitamin $\text{B}_{12}$ is:
a.
Porphyrin
b.
Corrin Correct Answer
c.
Phthalocyanine
d.
Crown ether
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Vitamin $\text{B}_{12}$ (cobalamin) contains a cobalt ion coordinated to a corrin ring, a macrocyclic ligand structurally related to porphyrin but lacking one of the methine bridges, making it more flexible and directly linking two pyrrole rings.
Q28 mcq
Which one of the following exhibits rotational spectra?
a.
$\text{H}_2$
b.
$\text{N}_2$
c.
$\text{CO}$ Correct Answer
d.
$\text{CO}_2$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
For a molecule to exhibit a pure rotational spectrum in the microwave region, it must possess a permanent electric dipole moment (gross selection rule: $\mu \neq 0$). - $\text{H}_2$ and $\text{N}_2$ are homonuclear diatomic molecules and have $\mu = 0$. - $\text{CO}_2$ is a linear, centrosymmetric molecule and has $\mu = 0$. - $\text{CO}$ is a heteronuclear diatomic molecule with a permanent dipole moment ($\mu \neq 0$), so it exhibits a pure rotational spectrum.
Q29 mcq
In Ziegler-Natta catalysis the commonly used catalyst system is:
a.
$\text{TiCl}_4, \text{Al}(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_3$ Correct Answer
b.
$(\eta^5-\text{Cp})_2\text{TiCl}_2, \text{Al}(\text{OEt})_3$
c.
$\text{VO}(\text{acac})_2, \text{Al}_2(\text{CH}_3)_6$
d.
$\text{TiCl}_4, \text{BF}_3$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
The traditional heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst system consists of a transition metal halide, most commonly titanium tetrachloride ($\text{TiCl}_4$) or titanium trichloride ($\text{TiCl}_3$), combined with an organoaluminum co-catalyst such as triethylaluminum, $\text{Al}(\text{C}_2\text{H}_5)_3$.
Q30 mcq
Oxidation occurs very easily in case of
a.
$(\eta^5-\text{C}_5\text{H}_5)_2\text{Fe}$
b.
$(\eta^5-\text{C}_5\text{H}_5)_2\text{Co}$ Correct Answer
c.
$(\eta^5-\text{C}_5\text{H}_5)_2\text{Ru}$
d.
$(\eta^5-\text{C}_5\text{H}_5)_2\text{Co}^+$
Step-by-Step AI Explanation
Verified Method
Cobaltocene, $(\eta^5-\text{C}_5\text{H}_5)_2\text{Co}$, is a 19-electron complex with an electron in an antibonding $e_{1g}^*$ orbital. It readily undergoes one-electron oxidation to form the very stable, 18-electron cobaltocenium cation, $[(\eta^5-\text{C}_5\text{H}_5)_2\text{Co}]^+$. In contrast, ferrocene and ruthenocene are already stable 18-electron complexes.
