Match ListI with List II List I List II A. [Co(NH_3)_6]^3+ I. sp^3 B.…

The correct answer is option 1. A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

List I	List II
A. \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\)	III. \(d^2sp^3\)
B. \([CoF_6]^{3-}\)	IV. \(sp^3d^2\)
C. \([NiCl_4]^{2-}\)	I. \(sp^3\)
D. \([Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}\)	II. \(dsp^2\)

A. \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\):

Here the central metal is \(Co\), whose electronic configuration will be

\(_{27}Co = _{18}Ar] 4s^2 3d^7\)

Let the oxidation state of \(Co\) will be x

so, \(x +6(0)=3\)

or, \(x = 3\)

So, \(Co\) is in +III oxidation state so its configuration becomes

In the presence of \(NH_3\) a strong ligand, the \(3d\) electrons pair up leaving two \(d-orbitals\) empty. Hence, the hybridization is \(d^2sp^3\) forming an inner orbital octahedral complex.

B. \([CoF_6]^{3-}\)

Here the central metal is \(Co\), whose electronic configuration will be

\(_{27}Co = _{18}Ar] 4s^2 3d^7\)

Let the oxidation state of \(Co\) will be x

so, \(x + 6(-1)= 3\)

or, \(x = 3\)

So, \(Co\) is in +III oxidation state so its configuration becomes

In the presence of \(F\) a weak ligand, the \(3d\) electrons do not pair up. Hence, the hybridization is \(sp^3d^2\) forming an outer orbital octahedral complex.

C.\([NiCl_4]^{2-}\)

Here the central metal is \(Ni\), whose electronic configuration will be

\(_{28}Ni = _{18}Ar] 4s^2 3d^8\)

Let the oxidation state of \(Ni\) will be x

so, \(x + 4(-1)= -2\)

or, \(x = 2\)

So, \(Ni\) is in +II oxidation state so its configuration becomes

In the presence of \(Cl\) a weak ligand, the \(3d\) electrons do not pair up. Hence, the hybridization is \(sp^3\) forming an outer orbital octahedral complex.

D. \([Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}\)

Here the central metal is \(Ni\), whose electronic configuration will be

\(_{28}Ni = _{18}Ar] 4s^2 3d^8\)

Let the oxidation state of \(Ni\) will be x

so, \(x + 4(-1)= -2\)

or, \(x = 2\)

So, \(Ni\) is in +II oxidation state so its configuration becomes

In the presence of \(CN\) a strong ligand, the \(3d\) electrons pair up leaving two \(d-orbitals\) empty. Hence, the hybridization is \(dsp^2\) forming an inner orbital octahedral complex.
