1.

Using the valence bond approach, deduce the shape and magnetic behaviour of [Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+) ion.

Answer»

Solution :Cr has electronic configuration [Ar] `4S^(1) 3d^(5)`
`Cr^(3+)` has electronic configuration [Ar] `4s^(0) 3d^(3)`

`d^(2)sp^(3)` HYBRIDISATION GIVES octahedral shape. The complex is PARAMAGNETIC due to presence of UNPAIRED electrons.
