Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. For $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$: $Co^{3+}$ is $3d^6$. $NH_3$ is a strong field ligand, causing pairing. Unpaired electrons $n = 0$.$2$. For $[CoF_6]^{3-}$: $Co^{3+}$ is $3d^6$. $F^-$ is a weak field ligand, no pairing. $n = 4$.$3$. For $[NiCl_4]^{2-}$: $Ni^{2+}$ is $3d^8$. $Cl^-$ is a weak field ligand, no pairing. $n = 2$.$4$. For $[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}$: $Ni^{2+}$ is $3d^8$. $CN^-$ is a strong field ligand, causing pairing. $n = 0$.Comparing the values, $[CoF_6]^{3-}$ has the highest number of unpaired electrons $(n = 4)$.

Identify the complex having the highest number of unpaired electrons from the following:
