Q.

Consider the following statement .

(P) Blue salt K4Mn(CN)63H2O is isostructural with the hexacyanoferrates (II) and the former  complex is paramagnet but later one is diamagnetic.

(Q) In the series of isoelectronic species V(CO)6 , Cr(CO)6 and Mn(CO)6+ from the vanadium to manganese complexes there is reduction in the strength of the bonding between metal and carbon and an increase in that in the carbonyl group (i.e CO).

(R) Chlorotris (triphenylphosphine) rhodium (I) is a square planar diamagnetic complex which is used as a homogeneous catalyst in hydrogenation of alkenes.

(S) Like CoNH34Cl2+ ion, Co(en)2Cl2+ ion can exist in cis and trans forms and neither can display optical activity.

(T)  Ni(CO)4  and  NiCl2PPh32 have same hybridization but different, magnetic moment and effective atomic number.
