To determine the magnetic behavior of the coordination complex ion \([CoF_6]^{3-}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Oxidation State of Cobalt In the complex \([CoF_6]^{3-}\), fluorine (F) is a negatively charged ligand with an oxidation state of -1. Since there are six fluorine ligands, their total contribution to the charge is \(6 \times (-1) = -6\). The overall charge of the complex ion is -3. Let \(x\) be the oxidation state of cobalt (Co). We can set up the equation: \[ x + (-6) = -3 ...
