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.
