Match each species in Column I with the d-electron count of its metal in Column II.
Column I: P [Fe(CN)X6]X4−; Q [Cr(NHX3)X6]X3+; R [Cu(NHX3)X4]X2+; S [Ag(NHX3)X2]X+.
Column II: 1 d3; 2 d6; 3 d9; 4 d10.
AP-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4
BP-1, Q-2, R-3, S-4
CP-2, Q-1, R-4, S-3
DP-3, Q-1, R-2, S-4
Answer: A
Fe: x−6=−4 gives Fe(II), 3d6. Cr is +3, 3d3. Cu is +2, 3d9. Ag is +1, 4d10. So P-2, Q-1, R-3, S-4.
