    If M is an element of actinoids series, the degree of complex formation decreases in the order

    A) \[{{M}^{4+}}>{{M}^{3+}}>MO_{2}^{2+}>MO_{2}^{+}\]

    B) \[MO_{2}^{+}>MO_{2}^{2+}>{{M}^{3+}}>{{M}^{4+}}\]

    C) \[M_{{}}^{4+}>MO_{2}^{2+}>{{M}^{3+}}>MO_{2}^{+}\]

    D) \[MO_{2}^{2+}>MO_{2}^{+}>M_{{}}^{4+}>{{M}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c]: The higher the charge on the metal ion, smaller is the ionic size and more is the complex forming ability. Thus, the degree of complex formation decreases in the order \[{{M}^{4+}}>MO_{2}^{2+}>{{M}^{3+}}>MO_{2}^{+}\] The higher tendency of complex formation of \[MO_{2}^{2+}\]as compared to \[{{M}^{3+}}\] is due to high concentration of charge on metal atom M in \[MO_{2}^{2+}\].
