हिन्दीGiven below are two statements:\n Statement I: \( [\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_6]^{3+} \) is a homoleptic complex whereas \( [\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_4\text{Cl}_2]^+ \) is a heteroleptic complex.\n Statement II: Complex \( [\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_6]^{3+} \) has only one kind of ligands but \( [\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_4\text{Cl}_2]^+ \) has more than one kind of ligands.\nIn the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 3
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Explanation
Homoleptic complexes have only one type of ligand (e.g., ammonia in \( [\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_6]^{3+} \)), while heteroleptic complexes have more than one type of ligand (e.g., ammonia and chloride in \( [\text{Co}(\text{NH}_3)_4\text{Cl}_2]^+ \)). Thus, both statements are true.
