Pick out the correct statement from the following: 1. Cobalt (III) is more stable in octahedral complexes. 2. Zinc forms coloured ions or complexes 3. Most of the d-block elements and their compounds are ferromagnetic. ltBrgt 4. Osmium shows (VIII) oxidation state 5. cobalt (II) is more stable in octahedral complexes.A. 1 and 2B. 1 and 3C. 2 and 4D. 1 and 4

Answer» Correct Answer - D
In `Co^(+3)` ion, electronic configuration `|Ar|_(18)3d^(6)4s^(0)`. For octahedral complex 4 unpaired electron get paired and in configuration become `t_(2g)^(6)eg^(0)` and hybridization `d^(2)sp^3`
Os has maximum VIII oxidation state.
