Q.

Consider the following statements : 

Statement-1 : Generally, square planar complexes show geometrical isomerism but do not exhibit optical isomerism because they do not possess plane of symmetry.

Statement-2 :  Δt=49Δ0

Statement-3: In octahedral complexes each electron entering the t2g orbitals stabilizes the complex ion by 0.4 Δ0 and each electron entering the eg orbital destabilizes the complex by an amount of 0.6 Δ0 • 

Select the correct statement from the codes given below.

Detailed Solution

Square planar complexes holds plane of symmetry. Thus, this complexes doesn’t show optical isomerism.

in the tetrahedral field crystal field splitting is 4/9th of the crystal field splitting in octahedral field.

Energy level of unsplitted d orbitals and t2g​ orbitals difference =0.4 Δ0

The energy level of the unsplitted orbitals and eg level difference =0.6 Δ0.

Thus, in octahedral complexes, all the electron entering the t2g​ orbitals balance the complex ion by 0.4 Δ0​, and every electron entering the, eg orbital destabilizes the complex by an amount of 0.6 Δ0​.

Hence, options B and C are correct.
