The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying which of the given complexes is an inner orbital complex and also exhibits diamagnetic behavior, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complexes:** The complexes given are: - A) [Zn(NH3)6]²⁺ - B) [Cr(NH3)6]³⁺ - C) [Co(NH3)6]³⁺ - D) [Ni(NH3)6]²⁺ 2. **Determine the Oxidation State:** For each complex, we will calculate the oxidation state of the central metal ion. - **A) [Zn(NH3)6]²⁺:** - Let oxidation state of Zn be \( x \). - Amine (NH3) is neutral. - The equation becomes: \( x + 6(0) = +2 \) → \( x = +2 \) - Oxidation state of Zn is +2. - **B) [Cr(NH3)6]³⁺:** - Let oxidation state of Cr be \( x \). - The equation becomes: \( x + 6(0) = +3 \) → \( x = +3 \) - Oxidation state of Cr is +3. - **C) [Co(NH3)6]³⁺:** - Let oxidation state of Co be \( x \). - The equation becomes: \( x + 6(0) = +3 \) → \( x = +3 \) - Oxidation state of Co is +3. - **D) [Ni(NH3)6]²⁺:** - Let oxidation state of Ni be \( x \). - The equation becomes: \( x + 6(0) = +2 \) → \( x = +2 \) - Oxidation state of Ni is +2. 3. **Write the Electron Configuration:** Now we will write the electron configurations for the metal ions in their respective oxidation states. - **A) Zn²⁺:** - Atomic number of Zn = 30 → Configuration: [Ar] 4s² 3d¹⁰ - Zn²⁺: [Ar] 3d¹⁰ (4s is empty) - **B) Cr³⁺:** - Atomic number of Cr = 24 → Configuration: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁵ - Cr³⁺: [Ar] 3d³ (4s is empty, 2 electrons removed from 4s and 1 from 3d) - **C) Co³⁺:** - Atomic number of Co = 27 → Configuration: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁷ - Co³⁺: [Ar] 3d⁶ (4s is empty, 2 electrons removed from 4s and 1 from 3d) - **D) Ni²⁺:** - Atomic number of Ni = 28 → Configuration: [Ar] 4s² 3d⁸ - Ni²⁺: [Ar] 3d⁸ (4s is empty, 2 electrons removed from 4s) 4. **Determine Hybridization and Magnetic Properties:** Next, we will analyze the hybridization and whether the complexes are inner or outer orbital complexes and if they are diamagnetic. - **A) [Zn(NH3)6]²⁺:** - Hybridization: sp³d² (outer orbital complex) - Magnetic behavior: Diamagnetic (all electrons paired) - **B) [Cr(NH3)6]³⁺:** - Hybridization: d²sp³ (inner orbital complex) - Magnetic behavior: Paramagnetic (unpaired electrons) - **C) [Co(NH3)6]³⁺:** - Hybridization: d²sp³ (inner orbital complex) - Magnetic behavior: Diamagnetic (all electrons paired after pairing) - **D) [Ni(NH3)6]²⁺:** - Hybridization: sp³d² (outer orbital complex) - Magnetic behavior: Paramagnetic (unpaired electrons) 5. **Conclusion:** The only complex that is both an inner orbital complex and diamagnetic is **C) [Co(NH3)6]³⁺**. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is **C) [Co(NH3)6]³⁺**.

To solve the question of identifying which of the given complexes is an inner orbital complex and also exhibits diamagnetic behavior, we will analyze each option step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complexes:** The complexes given are: - A) [Zn(NH3)6]²⁺ - B) [Cr(NH3)6]³⁺ ...
