For (en = neutral bidentate ligand; octahedral cation), which statements are correct? One or more options may be correct.

  1. AThe cation has two stereoisomers.
  2. BThe oxidation state of Pt is and its coordination number is 6.
  3. CIt furnishes 3 ions per formula unit and gives 2 mol of per mole with excess .
  4. DOne of the stereoisomers of the cation is optically active.

Answer: B, C, D

The two outer show the cation charge is , so and Pt is ; coordination number . Ions: one cation plus = 3, and 2 AgCl. The cation is with trans (achiral) and cis (chiral, 2 enantiomers) forms, i.e. 3 stereoisomers, so option 1 is false and option 4 is true.
