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.
