Co NH 3 6 3 + and CoF 6 3 - are respectively known as:
- Spin free Complex, Spin paired Complex
- Spin paired Complex, Spin free Complex
- Outer orbital Complex, Inner orbital Complex
- Inner orbital Complex, Spin paired Complex
Solution
In the complex Ammonia is strong field ligand and electronic configuration of
Hybridisation:
Pairing of electrons takes place due to the strong field ligand. Hence, it is inner orbital complex (spin paired complex).
In the complex fluoride is weak field ligand and electronic configuration of .
Hybridisation:
Pairing of electrons not takes place due to the weak field ligand. Hence, it is outer orbital complex (spin free complex).
Hence option B is the answer.
