A, B and D only
C
The calculated spin-only magnetic moment of the complex is 2.84 BM .
C and D only
C and D only
D
The calculated CFSE (Crystal Field Stabilization Energy) of Ni in this complex is 
.
(E) The geometrical arrangement of ligands in this complex is similar to that in
. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
C, D and E only
. (E) The geometrical arrangement of ligands in this complex is similar to that in
. Choose the correct answer from the options given below : C, D and E only
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Given : Paramagnetic complex hence it must be tetrahedral so
Crystal field splitting :
Tetrahedral complex not show geometrical isomerism.
Complex is Blue colour
Calculated spin only magnetic moment of the complex is 
.
C.F.S.E 
(E) 
also tetrahedral
Hence only A, B, D correct.
