Question

The incorrect statement about Zeise's salt is

• A. Zeise's salt is diamagnetic
• B. Oxidation state of $Pt$ in Zeise's salt is $+2$
• C. All the $Pt—Cl$ bond length in Zeise's salt are equal
• D. $C—C$ bond length of ethylene moiety in Zeise's salt is longer than that of free ethylene molecule.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Zeise's salt is $K\left[PtCl_{3} \left(C_{2}H_{4}\right)\right].H_{2}O$

All $Pt-Cl$ bond lengths are not equal.
