Covalent radius is not double of atomic radius.
Radius of anionic species is always greater than their parent atomic radius as nuclear charge decreases in anionic counterpart.
So, the correct option is (D): Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
Match the following:
Ions | Properties |
I. Zn2+ | i. d8 configuration |
II. Cu2+ | ii. Colourless |
III. Ni2+ | iii. µ = 1.73 BM |
Codes:
A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.
A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.
A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
