Given below are two statements.
Statement-I: In CuSO4.5H2O, Cu-O bonds are present.
Statement-II: In CuSO4.5H2O, ligands coordinating with Cu(II) ion are O-and S-based ligands.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
The correct answer is (B) : Statement-I is correct but Statement-II is incorrect
Only oxygen atom forms Coordinate bond with\( Cu^{+2}\) in
\(CuSO_4.5H_2O\)
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.
