Coordination Chemistry Quiz | Chemistry Quiz
All transition elements exhibit a characteristic property of complex ion formation. The compounds containing complex ions are called coordination compounds. The branch of chemistry in which coordination compounds are studied that are called coordination chemistry.
Double Salts and Coordination Compounds.
When solutions of two or more stable compounds are mixed in stoichiometric (simple molecular) proportions new crystalline compounds called molecular or addition compounds are formed. These are of two types,
(1) Double salts, (2) Co-ordination or Complex compounds
(1) Double salts: Addition compounds, stable in solid-state. Dissociate into ions in aqueous solution as such give test for each constituent ion.
(2) Co-ordination or Complex compounds: Addition compound, stable in solid-state. Retain their identity even in a solution. Central metal ion form dative or coordinate bond with the species surrounding it (ligands).

6. The coordination number of a central metal atom in a complex is determined by
(a) The number of ligands around a metal ion bonded by sigma and pi-bonds both.
(b) The number around a metal ion bonded by pi-bonds
(c) The number of ligands around a metal ion bonded by sigma bonds

(a) They are positively charged ions
(b) They are free radicals
(c) They are either neutral molecules or negatively charged ions
(d) None of these
SOL: (c) Ligand must have capacity to donate lone pair of electrons to form co-ordinate bond.

13. A strong ligand gives a complex which is generally called
(a) High spin
(b) High energy
(c) Low spin
(d) Stable
SOL: (c) A strong field ligand produces low spin complexes.
14. CN- is a strong field ligand. This is due to the fact that
(a) It can accept electron from metal species
(b) It forms high spin complexes with metal species
(c) It carries negative charge.
(d) It is a pseudohalide
SOL: (d) Cyanide ion is strong field ligand because it is a pseudohalide ion pseudohalide ions are stronger coordinating ligand & they have the ability to form bond (from the pseudohalide to the metal) and bond (from the metal to pseudohalide).
