   (vNi

 

  1. (a→ iii ),(bi),(cv),(div)
  2. (aiii),(biv),(cii),(dv)
  3. (aiv),(bi),(cii),(diii)
  4. (av),(biv),(ci),(diii)

Solution

The atomic number of copper is 29. It has the electronic configuration of 3d104s1. After the first ionisation energy it has the electronic configuration of 3d104s0. After that it has the very high second ionisation energy because of fully filled d-orbital. Zinc has the atomic number of the 30. It has the electronic configuration of 3d104s2. After that the second ionisation energy it has the electronic configuration of 3d104s0. After that it has the very high third ionisation energy because of fully filled d-orbital. The carbonyl ligand is two electron donor. The carbonyl ligand follows the eighteen electron rule. So, the electron configuration of metal must be d6. So, this metal is chromium. Hence, Cr is M in M(CO)6. The element with high heat of atomisation is nickel.

Hence, the correct matches are (aiii),(biv),(cii),(dv).
