Question

Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : In octahedral complexes, when 0 < P high spin complexes are formed. When 0 > P low spin complexes are formed. Statement (II) : In tetrahedral complexes because of t < P, low spin complexes are rarely formed. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below : (A) Both Statement I and Statement II are correct (B) Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect (C) Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect (D) Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Answer: A

💡 Solution & Explanation

0 < P  no pairing  high spin complexes 0 > P  pairing  low spin complexes t  9 4 0. So mostly t < P  no pairing, so low spin complexes are rarely formed. | JEE(Main) 2025 | DATE : 02-04-2025 (SHIFT-1) | PAPER-1 | CHEMISTRY PAGE # 5
