The complex ion `[Co(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` is formed by `sp^(3) d^(2)` hybridiration. Hence, the ion should posses

A

octachedral geometry

B

tetrahedral geometry

C

square planar geometry

D

tetragonal geometry

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Hybridiration `sp^(3)d^(2)` can only be correlated with octachedral geometry. The spatial arrangement of the ligand atom which arer directly bonded the central atom/ion defines a coordination poyhedron about the central atom. Coordination polyhedron for coordination number six is always octahedron.
