Question
Write the hybridisation and magnetic behaviour of [CoF6]3−.
[Given: Atomic number of Co = 27]
Advertisements
Solution
Electronic configuration of Co: [Ar]184s23d7
Oxidation state of [CoF6]3− will be x + 6(−1) = −3; x = +3.
Because of the existence of four unpaired electrons, the hybridisation of the Co atom in [CoF6]3− is sp3d2, and the magnetic behaviour is paramagnetic.
