\([CoF_6]^{3-}\) using valance bond theory can be explained as
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is option 2. Outer orbital, paramagnetic.
The central \(Co\) atom is \(sp^3d^2\) hybridized. It forms octahedral complex with paramagnetic behavior due to presence of \(4\) unpaired electrons. It forms outer orbital or high spin or spin free complex as it utilizes outer \(4d\) orbitals in \(sp^3d^2\) hybridization.
