For octahedral 
and tetrahedral 
complexes, consider the following statements:
(i) both the complexes can be high spin.
(ii) 
complex can very rarely below spin.
(iii) with strong field ligands, 
complexes can be low spin.
(iv) aqueous solution of 
ions is yellow in colour.
The correct statements are :
A
, 
and 
only
B
and 
only C
,

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Both complex can be high spin
Tetrahedral complex are generally high spin complex with any ligand is present
Aqueous solution of 
ions is pink in colour
Iow spin complex
