The correct Answer is:
To determine the hybridization states of the central atom in the complex ions \([FeF_6]^{3-}\), \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\), and \([Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the oxidation states of the central metal ions. - For \([FeF_6]^{3-}\): - Fluoride (F) has a charge of -1. Therefore, for 6 fluorides, the total negative charge is -6. - Let the oxidation state of Fe be \(x\). The equation is: \[ x + 6(-1) = -3 \implies x - 6 = -3 \implies x = +3 \] - For \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\): - Water (H2O) is neutral, so the oxidation state of Fe is +3. - For \([Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}\): - Ammonia (NH3) is also neutral, so the oxidation state of Ni is +2. ### Step 2: Determine the electron configuration of the metal ions. - For \(Fe^{3+}\): - Atomic number of Fe = 26. The electron configuration is \( [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2 \). - For \(Fe^{3+}\), it loses 3 electrons (2 from 4s and 1 from 3d), resulting in \(3d^5\). - For \(Ni^{2+}\): - Atomic number of Ni = 28. The electron configuration is \( [Ar] 3d^8 4s^2 \). - For \(Ni^{2+}\), it loses 2 electrons (both from 4s), resulting in \(3d^8\). ### Step 3: Determine the hybridization based on the ligands and electron configuration. - For \([FeF_6]^{3-}\): - Fluoride is a weak field ligand, so it does not cause pairing of electrons. The \(3d^5\) configuration will use \(3d\), \(4s\), and \(4p\) orbitals for hybridization. - The hybridization is \(sp^3d^2\) (1 s, 3 p, and 2 d orbitals). - For \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\): - Water is a weak field ligand, similar to fluoride, so pairing does not occur. - The hybridization is also \(sp^3d^2\). - For \([Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}\): - Ammonia is a strong field ligand, which can cause pairing. The \(3d^8\) configuration will use \(4s\) and \(4p\) orbitals for hybridization. - The hybridization is \(d^2sp^3\) (1 d, 2 s, and 3 p orbitals). ### Step 4: Summarize the hybridization states. - \([FeF_6]^{3-}\): \(sp^3d^2\) - \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}\): \(sp^3d^2\) - \([Ni(NH_3)_6]^{2+}\): \(d^2sp^3\) ### Conclusion: The correct answer is (a) \(sp^3d^2\), \(sp^3d^2\), and \(d^2sp^3\) respectively.
