Match List I with List II:

List I
(Complexes)
List II
(Hybridis ation)
(A) $[Ni(CO)_4]$ I $sp^{3}$
(B) $[Cu(NH_3)_4]^{2+}$ II $dsp^{2}$
(C) $[Fe(NH_3)_6]^{2+}$ III $sp^{3} d^{2}$
(D) $[Fe(H_2 O)_6]^{2+}$ IV $d^{2} sp^{3}$

(1) A - II, B - I, C - III, D - IV

(2) A - I, B - II, C - III, D - IV

(3) A - II, B - I, C - IV, D - III

(4) A - I, B- II, C - IV, D - III

Show Answer

Answer: (4)

Solution:

Formula: VBT

For $[Fe(NH_3)_6]^{+2}, \Delta_0<P$, hence the pairing of electrons does not occur in $t _{2 g}$. Therefore complex is outer orbital and its hybridisation is $sp^{3} d^{2}$.
