Describe for any two of the following complex ions, the type of hybridisation, shape and magnetic property : [Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+) |
|
Answer» Solution :`[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` ELECTRONIC configuration of Co : [Ar] `4s^(2) 3d^(7)` Electronic configuration of `Co^(3+) : [Ar] 4s^(0) 3d^(6)` `NH_(3)` is strong field LIGAND. It will bring about pairing of electrons. `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)`  Electrons DONATED by the ligands It has `d^(2)sp^(3)` hybridisation with octahedral shape. It is diamagnetic in nature due to absence of unpaired electrons. |
