Published on: August 14, 2026

Addition of excess aqueous ammonia to a pink coloured aqueous solution of MCl 2 .6H 2 O(X) and NH 4 Cl gives an octahedral complex Y in the presence of air. In aqueous solution, complex Y behaves as 1 :3 electrolyte. The reaction of X with excess HC1 at room temperature results in the formation of a blue coloured complex Z. The calculated spin only magnetic moment of X and Z is 3.87 B.M., whereas it is zero for complex Y. Among the following options, which statement(s) is(are) correct?

A
The hybridization of the central metal ion in Y is d 2 sp 3
B
Z is a tetrahedral complex
C
Addition of silver nitrate to Y gives only two equivalents of silver chloride
D
When X and Z are in equilibrium at 0°C, the colour of the solution is pink
