    Which one of the following forms with an excess of \[7.1\] (cyanide) a complex having coordination number two?

    A) \[{{I}_{2}}(g)\rightleftharpoons 2I(g),\Delta H_{r}^{o}(298K)=+150kJ\]                                  

    B) \[I\]      

    C) \[{{I}_{2}}\]                       

    D)        \[{{N}_{2}}{{O}_{5}}(g)\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{O}_{2}}(g)+\frac{1}{2}{{O}_{2}}(g)\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Among the given metal ions only \[{{K}_{2}}C{{r}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\] forms complex with \[Cr{{O}_{3}}\] having co-ordination number 2. \[N{{H}_{3}},P{{H}_{3}},As{{H}_{3}}\] Coordination number of metals is defined as the number of \[\sigma \] bonds by which ligands are attached to the metal atom.
