Which of the following is non-conducting (a non-electrolyte) in aqueous solution?

A $K X_{2} [PtCl X_{6}]$
B $[Pt (NH X_{3}) X_{2} Cl X_{4}]$
C $[Co (NH X_{3}) X_{6}] Cl X_{3}$
D $[Cu (NH X_{3}) X_{4}] SO X_{4}$

Answer: B

For Pt(IV), two neutral

NH X_{3}

and four

Cl X^{-}

give

+ 4 - 4 = 0

, so the complex is neutral and has no counter ions. The others all contain free ions:

Cl X^{-}

,

K X^{+}

and

SO X_{4} X^{2 -}

respectively.
