Vedclass · Answer

(A) Complex compounds in which all the ligands bound to the metal center are identical are known as homoleptic complexes. Complexes in which the metal atom or ion is linked with more than one kind of ligand are known as heteroleptic complexes. In $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$,all six ligands are $NH_3$ molecules,which are identical. Therefore,it is a homoleptic complex. In the other options,there are different types of ligands (e.g.,$NH_3$ and $Cl^-$,or $NH_3$ and $H_2O$),making them heteroleptic complexes.

List-$I$ (Complex)	List-$II$ (Primary valency and Secondary valency)
$(A)$ $[Co(en)_2 Cl_2] Cl$	$(I)$ $3, 6$
$(B)$ $[Pt(NH_3)_2 Cl(NO_2)]$	$(II)$ $2, 4$
$(C)$ $Hg[Co(SCN)_4]$	$(III)$ $3, 4$
$(D)$ $[Mg(EDTA)]^{2-}$	$(IV)$ $2, 6$
