Compare the following complexes with respect to structural shapes of units, magnetic behaviour and hybrid orbitals involved in units : [Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+),[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+),Ni(CO)_(4)

Answer»

Solution :(i) `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` Oxidation STATE of Co= +3
Config. of `Co^(3+)` :`3d^(6)4s^(0)`
Shape: Octahedral
Magnetic BEHAVIOUR: DIAMAGNETIC
Hybrid orbitals involved :`d^(2)sp^(3)`
(ii) `[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` Oxidation state of Cr = +3
Configuration of `Cr^(3+)` : `3d^(3)4s^(0)`
Shape: Octahedral
Magnetic behaviour: PARAMAGNETIC
Hybrid orbitals involved: `d^(2)sp^(3)`
(iii) `Ni(CO)_(4)` Oxidation state of Ni = 0
Shape : Tetrahedral
Magnetic behaviour : Diamagnetic
Hybrid orbitals involved: `sp^(3)`
