Vedclass · Answer

(A) The central metal ion is $Co^{3+}$,which has an electronic configuration of $[Ar] 3d^6$.$NH_3$ is a strong field ligand,which causes pairing of electrons in the $3d$ orbitals.As a result,the $3d$ electrons are paired,leaving two $3d$ orbitals empty.These two $3d$,one $4s$,and three $4p$ orbitals hybridize to form $d^2sp^3$ hybrid orbitals.Since all electrons are paired,the complex is diamagnetic.Because the electrons are paired in the lower energy $d$ orbitals,it is a low spin complex.

Identify the correct pair of properties of the $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$ complex ion.
