Question
Which of the following conditions is/are suitable for the stability of the complex?(a) Chelation(b) Larger basic nature of the ligand(c) Larger charge on the central metal ion.(d) Smaller charge on the central metal ion
Step 1
So, chelation is suitable for the stability of the complex. (b) Larger basic nature of the ligand: A ligand with a larger basic nature will have a stronger affinity for the central metal ion, leading to a more stable complex. So, a larger basic nature of the Show more…

Which of the following eonditions is/are suitable for the stability of the complex? (a) Chclarion (b) Largcr basic narurc of the ligand (c) Larger charge on the cenral meral ion (d) Smaller charge on the ccntral meral ion
The stability constants of the complexes formed by a metal ions $\left(\mathrm{M}^{2+}\right)$ with $\mathrm{NH}_{3}, \mathrm{CN}^{-}, \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ and 'cn' arc of the order of $10^{11}, 10^{27}, 10^{15}$ and $10^{2}$ respccrively. Then (a) ea is the strongest ligand. (b) 'These values cannot predice the strength of the ligand. (c) CN is the strongcst ligand. (d) All ligands arc cqually strong.
