On the basis of crystal field theory explain why Co(III) Forms paramagnetic octahedral complex with weak field ligands whereas it forms diamagnetic octahedral complex with strong field ligands.

A

Statement-1 is true,Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1

B

Statement- is True, Statement-2 is True, Statement-2 is not a correct explanantion for Statement-1

C

Statement-1 is True,Statement-2 is False

D

Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`Ni^(2+) : 3d^(8)`

Note that by pairing up `d^(2)sp^(3)` cannot be obtained in the case of strong field ligands .
