5.
In both the complexes, Fe is in +3 oxidation state with the configuration 3d5. CN- is a strong ligand. In its presence, 3d electrons pair up leaving only one unpaired electron. The hybridization is d 2sp3forming inner orbital complex. H20 is a weak ligand. In its presence, 3d electrons do not pair up. The hybridization is sp3 d2 forming an outer orbital complex containing five unpaired electrons. Hence, it is strongly paramagnetic.
6.
Stability of coordination compounds in aqueous solution is determined with the help of satbility constant. Higher the value of stability constant, greater will be stability. Smaller the cation, higher the charge on the cation, more stable will be the complex. Chelating agents form more stable complex than monodentate ligand. Stronger the ligand, more stable will be the complex.
7.
(I) Dichlorido-bis (ethane 1,2-diamine) cobalt(ill) chloride.

(il) Diamminechloridonitrito-N-platinum (II)
8.
-1 ∵ + 1 + x + 0 = 0 ⇒ x = -1
[oxidation number of 'K' is +1, CO is neutral ligand].
9.
Let us assume that the six ligands are positioned symmetrically along the cartesian axes, with metal atom at the origin. As the ligands approach, first there is an increase in energy of d-orbitals relative to that of the free ion just as would be the case in a spherical field The orbitals lying along the axes (\({ d }_{ { z }^{ 2 } }\)nd \({ d }_{ { x }^{ 2 }-{ y }^{ 2 } }\))get repelled more strongly than dx1 d and dyz and dzx orbitals which have lobes directed between the axes. The \({ d }_{ { z }^{ 2 } }\)and orbitals get raised in energy and dxy dyz d xz orbitals are lowered in energy relative to the average energy in the spherical crystal field. Thus, the degenerate set of d-orbitals get split into two sets : the lower energy orbitals set and the higher energy orbitals eg set. The energy is separated by t2g and the higher energy orbitals eg set. The energy is separated by \({ \Delta }_{ 0 }\)

10.
(a) Ligand is an atom or group of atoms or ions which can donate a pair of electrons to vacant d-orbitals of metal atom or ion. Ethane -1, 2-diamine H2NCH2CH2NH2 or oxalate ion is an example of bidentate ligand.
(b) Ni(28) : [Ar]4s23d8,
Ni2+ : [Ar] 4s03d8
CN- is strong field ligand will cause pairing of electrons.
It has dsp2 hybridisation, square planar shape and diamagnetic in nature.

\({ \triangle }_{ t }=\left( \frac { 4 }{ 9 } \right) { \triangle }_{ 0 }\). Thus, \({ \triangle }_{ t }\) is smaller than \({ \triangle }_{ 0 }\). Hence, less energy (higher wavelength) is absorbed by tetrahedral complexes than by octahedral complexes of the same metal and ligands. Therefore, the observed colour are different.
23.
When white light falls on the complex, some part of it is absorbed. Greater the CFSE, greater is the energy absorbed or shorter is the wavelength absorbed \((E={hc\over\lambda })\). The observed colour is the complementary colour of the colour absorbed.
