Question Style in MHT CET Coordination Compounds PYQs
Every question in this PDF is a single-correct MCQ. Most ask for a name, a coordination number, an effective atomic number or a statement about a complex.
| Question Style | What it Tests |
|---|---|
| Type of complex | Which complex is neutral, which is a cationic sphere complex, and which complex has an ambidentate ligand |
| Effective atomic number | The EAN of the metal ion in Fe(CO)₅, in hexacyanoferrate(II) ion and in another complex ion |
| Coordination and oxidation number | The sum of the coordination number and the oxidation number of the metal, and the total number of donor atoms in tetracyanonickelate(II) ion |
| Ligands and field strength | The weak field ligand from a list |
| Werner's theory and isomerism | What the geometry of a complex depends on according to Werner's theory, and the statement about enantiomers that is NOT true |
How to Use the Coordination Compounds PYQ PDF for MHT CET
- Start with the 2025 and 2026 papers first, because they hold 68 of the 178 questions.
- Practise the IUPAC rules for naming complexes: ligands in alphabetical order, then the metal with its oxidation number.
- For EAN, use the formula EAN = atomic number − oxidation state + 2 × coordination number.
- Solve year-wise PYQs by timing yourself, as time management is crucial.
- Re-attempt only the questions you got wrong, and note which formula or step you missed.
