    Which of the following is false for tetrahedral complexes?

    A)  Low spin        

    B)  High spin

    C)  d-d transition    

    D)  Coloured

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Tetrahedral complexes show \[s{{p}^{3}}\]hybridisation, so low spin (pairing of electrons in the d-orbitals) is false for tetrahedral complexes. Tetrahedral complexes show d-d transition due to high spin of d-orbitals. Tetrahedral complexes are coloured due to the absence of symmetry and presence of unpaired electron in d-orbitals.
