Chemistry · Coordination Compounds
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R): Assertion (A): Type B metal ions form more stable complexes compared to Type A metal ions under specific soft-ligand donor scenarios. Reason (R): High electro-negativity (in relative terms) of the metal and low electro-negativity of the ligand donor atom would be consistent with the stability of a complex with a Type B metal ion. In the light of the above Statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
- 1(A) is not correct but (R) is correct
- 2(A) is correct but (R) is not correct
- 3Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
- 4Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)✓
Correct answer
Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
