Select the wrong statement.

Answer»

The C.N. of cation occupying a tetrahedral HOLE is 4.
The C.N. of cation occupying an octahedral hole is 6.
In Schottky defects, density of the lattice DECREASES.
In Frenkel defects, density of the lattice increases.

Solution :Since tetradedral holes are surrounded by 4 nearest neighbours so the C.N. of cation occupying tetrahedral hole is 4.
Since octahedral hole is surrounded by six nearest neighbours so C.N. of cation occupying octahedral hole is 6. In Schottky defect a pair of anion and cation leaves the lattice, so density to lattice decreases.
HOWEVER in case of Frenkel defect the density remains unchanged as the ions are PRESENT in the INTERSTITIAL sites without changing the volume.

Select the true statement from the following for metal carbonyls ?

Answer»

`pi` back bonding strengthens M - C bond order as well as CO bond order .
`pi` back bonding weakens M - C bond order as well as CO bond order
`pi` back bonding weakens M - C bond order but strengthens CO bond order
`pi` BACKBONDING strengthens M - C bond order and weakens CO bond order .

Solution :The overlap of a LONE pair on the C atom with the empty hybrid metal orbitals forms a metal-to-carbon `pi`-bond. The transition metal atom in a metal carbonyl has filled non-bonding d-orbitals which are of proper symmetry to overlap with the anti-bonding orbitals of CO . The electronic charge is transferred from the filled non-bonding orbitals of the metal to `pi^(**)` orbitals of the ligand CO . This reduces the bond order of CO . The `pi` back-bonding strengthens the M-C bond order , it weakens the C-O bond order .
