Ag+ forms many complexes, some of these are [Ag(NH3)2]+, [Ag(CN)2] and [Ag(S2O3)2]3–. Which of the following statement is true -

A

In these complexes, Ag+ is a lewis base

B

The hybridisation of Ag+ is sp2

C

The Ag+ complexes are good reducing agents

D

These complexes are all linear

Answer

These complexes are all linear

Explanation

Solution

Ag+ is sp hybridised in all these complexes hence all of them are linear.
