    In which one of the pairs of ion given, there is an ion that forms a co-ordination compound with both aqueous sodium hydroxide and ammonia and an other ion that forms a co-ordination compound only with aqueous sodium hydroxide?

    A)  \[P{{b}^{2+}},C{{u}^{2+}}\]

    B)  \[Z{{n}^{2+}},A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    C)  \[C{{u}^{2+}},Z{{n}^{2+}}\]

    D)  \[A{{l}^{3+}},C{{u}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : \[Z{{n}^{2+}}\] ion reacts with aq. \[NaOH\] and \[N{{H}_{3}}\]and forms a coordination compound. \[Z{{n}^{2+}}+4NaOH\to {{[Zn{{(OH)}_{4}}]}^{2-}}+4N{{a}^{+}}\] \[Z{{n}^{2+}}+4N{{H}_{3}}\to {{[Zn{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{4}}]}^{2+}}\] But, \[A{{l}^{3+}}\] ion reacts only with \[NaOH\]. \[A{{l}^{3+}}+4NaOH\to [A]{{(OH)}_{4}}{{]}^{-}}+4N{{a}^{+}}\]
