The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the coordination compound \([Co(CO_3)(NH_3)_5]ClO_4\), we will go through the following steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Coordination Number The coordination number is determined by the number of ligands attached to the central metal atom. In this complex, we have: - 5 ammonia ligands (NH₃), which are monodentate ligands. - 1 carbonate ligand (CO₃²⁻), which is also a monodentate ligand. Thus, the coordination number is: \[ \text{Coordination Number} = 5 \, (\text{from } NH_3) + 1 \, (\text{from } CO_3) = 6 \] ### Step 2: Determine the Oxidation State of Cobalt To find the oxidation state of cobalt (Co) in the complex, we can set up the following equation based on the charges: Let the oxidation state of Co be \(x\). - The charge from the carbonate ion (CO₃²⁻) is -2. - The ammonia ligands are neutral. - The overall charge of the complex is +1 (since it is balanced by the ClO₄⁻ ion). Thus, we have: \[ x + (-2) + 0 = +1 \] Solving for \(x\): \[ x - 2 = 1 \implies x = 3 \] So, the oxidation state of cobalt is +3. ### Step 3: Calculate the Number of d-Electrons Cobalt (Co) has an atomic number of 27, and its electronic configuration is: \[ [Ar] \, 4s^2 \, 3d^7 \] In the +3 oxidation state, cobalt loses 2 electrons from the 4s orbital and 1 electron from the 3d orbital: \[ 3d^6 \] Thus, the number of d-electrons in Co³⁺ is 6. ### Step 4: Determine the Number of Unpaired d-Electrons Since CO₃²⁻ is a strong field ligand, it causes pairing of electrons in the d-orbitals. The distribution of the 6 d-electrons in the presence of strong field ligands would be: \[ \text{d-orbital filling: } \uparrow\downarrow \, \uparrow\downarrow \, \uparrow\downarrow \] All six electrons are paired, so the number of unpaired d-electrons is 0. ### Step 5: Determine the Hybridization With a coordination number of 6, the hybridization can be determined as follows: - For a coordination number of 6, the hybridization is \(d^2sp^3\). ### Summary of Results - Coordination Number: 6 - Oxidation State of Co: +3 - Number of d-Electrons: 6 - Number of Unpaired d-Electrons: 0 - Hybridization: \(d^2sp^3\) ### Final Answer The correct option is **A** (Coordination number = 6, Oxidation state = +3, d-electrons = 6, unpaired d-electrons = 0).
