Coordination Compounds Question 4
Question 4 - 24 January - Shift 2
All the alkali metal hydrides are ionic solid (True).
The hybridization and magnetic behaviour of cobalt
ion in $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$ complex, respectively is
(1) $sp^{3} d^{2}$ and diamagnetic
(2) $d^{2} sp^{3}$ and paramagnetic
(3) $d^{2} sp^{3}$ and diamagnetic
(4) $sp^{3} d^{2}$ and paramagnetic
Show Answer
Answer: (3)
Solution:
Formula: Valence bond theory , magnetic moment,magnetic-moment–sqrtnn2-bohr-magneton
$[Co(NH_3)_6]^{+3}-d^{2} sp^{3}$, diamagnetic
