Which of the following shell from an octahedral complex

A

`d^(4)` (low spin)

B

`d^(8)` (high spin)

C

`d^(6)` (low spin)

D

None of these .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
In `d^(6)` (low spin) electrons get paired up to make two d-orbitals empty . Hybridisation is `d^(2) sp^(3)` (octahedral) and the complex is low spin .
