of the compound and name it.
5. (i) Write down the IUPAC name of the following complex: [Cr(en)3]Cl3 2
(ii) Write the formula for the following complex:
Potassium trioxalato chromate(III)
6. Write the state of hybridization, shape and IUPAC name of the complex [CoF6]3–. 2

precipitated. The complex is
(a) [Co(H2O)4 Cl2] Cl.2H2O
(b) [Co(H2O)3 Cl3] 3H2O
(c) [Co(H2O)6] Cl3

11. Match the complex ions given in Column I with the hybridisation and number of unpaired 1
electrons given in Column II and assign the correct code:
Column II (Hybridisation,
Column I
number of unpaired
(Complex ion)
electrons)

12. In the following questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given. 1
Choose the correct answer out of the following choices.
(a) Assertion and reason both are true, reason is correct explanation of assertion.
(b) Assertion and reason both are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) Assertion is true, reason is false.
Assertion: Toxic metal ions are removed by the chelating ligands. [NCERT Exemplar Problem]
Reason: Chelate complexes tend to be more stable.
