JEE Main 2025 — Coordination Compounds Question with Solution
JEE Main 2025 (2 Apr Shift 1)
Question
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : In octahedral complexes, when high spin complexes are formed. When low spin complexes are formed.
Statement (II) : In tetrahedral complexes because of , low spin complexes are rarely formed.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

Correct answer
DBoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
Step-by-step explanation
In octahedral complex
If P.E., then high spin complexes are formed
If P.E., then low spin complexes are formed But in tetrahedral complex
P.E., then mainly high spin complexes are formed and rarely low spin complexes are formed.
If P.E., then high spin complexes are formed
If P.E., then low spin complexes are formed But in tetrahedral complex
P.E., then mainly high spin complexes are formed and rarely low spin complexes are formed.
