Question

Fill in the blanks by choosing the appropriate word/words from those given in the brackets:

(iodoform, volume, mass, haloform, gram equivalent, chloroform, carbylamine, sp³d², high, coke, d²sp³, low, gram mole, carbon monoxide)

Outer orbital complexes involve ______ hybridization and are ______ spin complexes.

Answer 1

Outer orbital complexes involve sp³d² hybridization and are high spin complexes.

Explanation:

In outer orbital complexes, the metal ion uses outer d-orbitals, leading to sp³d² hybridization. Since electron pairing does not occur, these complexes have more unpaired electrons and are therefore high-spin.
