Question
Write the hybridization and shape of the following complexe : [CoF6]3–
(Atomic number : Co = 27, Ni = 28)
Advertisements
Solution
The atomic number of Co is 27 and its valence shell electronic configuration is 3d7 4s2.
Co is in +3 oxidation state in the complex [CoF6]3−.

Hence, [CoF6]3− is sp3d2 hybridised and it is octahedral in shape.

(Atomic no. of Fe = 26)
Magnetic moment of \[\ce{[MnCl4]^{2-}}\] is 5.92 BM. Explain giving reason.
Explain why \[\ce{[Fe(H2O)6]^{3+}}\] has magnetic moment value of 5.92 BM whereas \[\ce{[Fe(CN)6]^{3-}}\] – has a value of only 1.74 BM.
Assertion: \[\ce{[Fe(CN)6]^{3-}}\] ion shows magnetic moment corresponding to two unpaired electrons.
Reason: Because it has d2sp3 type hybridisation.
