When crystals of `CuSO_(4)` are dissolved in water, there is hardly any evidence for the presence of `Cu^(2+)` ions or ammonia molecules. A new ion `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)` is furnished in which ammonia molecules are directly linked with the metal ion . Similarly the aqueous solution of `Fe(CN)_(2).4KCN` does not give tests of `Fe^(2+)` and `CN^(-)` ions but gives test of a new ion, `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)` also called complex ions.
Predict the incorrect statements from the options given below :
A. `[Ni(CN)_(6)]^(3-)` is weakly paramagnetic while `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(4-)` is diamagnetic
B. `[Ni(CO)_(4)]` possesses tetrahedral geometry while `[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` is square planar
C. `[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` is diamagnetic while `[NiCl_(4)]^(2-)` is paramagnetic
D. `[Cu(en)_(2)]^(2+)` is less stable than `[Cu(NH_(3))_(4)]^(2+)`

Correct Answer - d
`[Cu(en)_2]^(2+)` is more stable than `[Cu(NH_3)_4]^(2+)` as it is involved in the formation of chelate.

`CuSO_(4).5H_(2)O`, a hydrated salt, is a coordination compound of `Cu^(2+)` ions with `H_(2)O` molecules as the ligands. It can also be regarded as a

Correct Answer - D `[Cu(H_(2)O)_(4)]SO_(4).H_(2)O`. It contains four water molecules coordinated to the central metal atom i.e., copper while fifth water molecule is hydrogen bonded to sulphate ion.

In the electrolysis of a solution containing `H^(+)` and `Cu^(2+)` ions, at the cathode `H^(+)` ions are liberated in preference to `Cu^(2+)` ions. Is

No, it is wrong, `Cu^(2+)` ions are discharged in preference to `H^(+)` ions because `E^(@)` value of `Cu^(2+)//Cu` is more than that of `2H^(+)//H_(2)`.
