An aqueous solution of metal ion $M1$ reacts separately with reagents $Q$ and $R$ in excess to give tetrahedral and square planar complexes,respectively. An aqueous solution of another metal ion $M2$ always forms tetrahedral complexes with these reagents. Aqueous solution of $M2$ on reaction with reagent $S$ gives a white precipitate which dissolves in excess of $S$. The reactions are summarized in the scheme given below:
