This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

According to me, the answer should be (2), as all the other metal cations form complexes.

Silver forms [Ag(NH3)2]+1 [ Ag(NH_{3})_2]^{+1}

Copper forms [Cu(NH3)4]+2 [ Cu(NH_{3})_4]^{+2}

Zinc forms [Zn(NH3)4]+2 [ Zn(NH_{3})_4]^{+2}

ELI5: What is a complex?

A Former Brilliant Member - 6 years, 11 months ago

A complex is a coordination compound formed by ligands and a central metal atom. You can further study it on wiki

Avineil Jain - 6 years, 11 months ago

Usually such reactions involves complexation. Ammonia is a strong field ligand, it easily forms complexes with most metal cations, except a few like aluminium. The result follows.

All metals can form complexes and Al can't so it's 2

Ðürvã Kølî - 7 years ago

when Al (OH)3 react with NH4OH it precipitates as the solubility of Al (OH)3 is less in NH4OH than in water

Dharma Teja - 7 years ago

I think the same, the answer is 2. Beacuse The reaction of alumunium with amonia cant form a complex, altough amonia is a good ligant. Because the reaction just form Al(OH)2, who have a low solubility in the more reagent. While the ions of the other metals, if they reacted with a little of ammonia, they'll precipitate to form Ag2O, Zn(OH)2, Cu(OH)2. But they are can soluble with more ammonia, which each form their complex compound, like avineil jain was told. Sorry i cant give my expalanation well, i have the bad english.

Ulsyah Almusyarofah - 7 years ago

the answer is (2),AL(OH)3

Emmanuel Astorga - 7 years ago

I think its 2 Al(OH)³

Âbhïshëk Çôöl - 7 years ago

Answer is 2 becoz 1 and 3 can form complex salts with aqueous ammonia and 4 is hydroxide of an amphoteric metal. So all that is left is 2

Deep Mallik - 7 years ago

ANS:- 2 THIS IS THE ULTIMATE ANSWER AS I HAVE POSTED THIS.

Ariijit Dey - 6 years, 11 months ago

As told by Avineil Jain I was also thinking the that same concept

Anubhav Sachan - 7 years ago

rahul singh - 7 years ago

The answer is 2

Dang Anh Tu - 7 years ago

except aluminium all others are d- block elements. they can form complexes. p - block element Al cannot form

Brahmam Meka - 7 years ago

answer is 2

Kads Phạm - 7 years ago

twoooo.cause Al cant form complex ones.

Krishna Deb - 7 years ago

Answer is 2

Aashish Gangwani - 7 years ago

The answer is 2 because all others can form complexes

3

niraj ingole - 7 years ago

Ravi Bagdia - 7 years ago

Answer is no. 2

Al(OH)3

kshitij bafna - 7 years ago

Yaa its answer 2

Parag Soni - 7 years ago

Al(OH)3 is insoluble, because aqueous ammonia creates the conditions for it to precipitate. At lower pH it will be dissolved as Al3+.6H2O, at higher pH it will be dissolved as Al(OH)6(3-).

Fares Salem - 7 years ago

I think it is 1st option

nikunj pandharikar - 7 years ago

2) Al(OH)3 is insoluble in aqueous ammonia

Shashwat Sulekh - 7 years ago

Al(OH)3

Sruti Swaminathan - 7 years ago

Al(OH)3 doesn't form a complex in ammonia, so it should be 2. The rest react with ammonia.

Yuxuan Seah - 6 years, 12 months ago

Aloh3

Darshan Mehta - 6 years, 12 months ago

2 is the answer

Rahul Malik - 6 years, 12 months ago

Its Al(OH)3 because it will form precipitation.

Vivi Hinata - 6 years, 12 months ago

The answer is 2, because it can't form complexes with Aluminium.

Kevin Liyanto - 6 years, 11 months ago

The answer is 2 because all others can form complex

Aliraza Lakhani - 6 years, 11 months ago

Option (2)

Shreyas Patel - 6 years, 11 months ago

The answer is AgCl

preety Aggarwal - 6 years, 11 months ago

Because all others are already in aqueous form as hydroxide is already there

preety Aggarwal - 6 years, 11 months ago

according to me ans should be 1 all three have oh- ions

Riddhesh Deshmukh - 6 years, 11 months ago

Al(oh)2

Prince Akhil - 6 years, 11 months ago

it is Al(OH)3 becoz it will not make complex compound with ammonia. other do as Ag(NH3)2Cl, Cu(NH3)4(OH)2,Zn(NH3)4(OH)2

Rohit Ketkar - 6 years, 11 months ago

I think that ans is 2 bcoz all other are made from complexes

Sufyan Dhansay - 6 years, 11 months ago

Agcl

Bazmi Farooquee - 6 years, 11 months ago

I thing (2) answer because other makes them complex.

Atish Patel - 6 years, 11 months ago

a, Agcl is insoluble to ammonia, AgCl is a metallic salt.

joram otero - 6 years, 11 months ago

a)

Emanuel Farid - 6 years, 10 months ago

its 4th option
