The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the correct statement regarding coordination compounds, we will analyze each option based on the information provided in the video transcript. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Complex [Co(H2O)6]³⁺:** - Cobalt (Co) has an atomic number of 27, with an electron configuration of [Ar] 3d⁷ 4s². - In the +3 oxidation state, cobalt loses 3 electrons, resulting in a configuration of 3d⁶ 4s⁰. - Since H2O is a weak field ligand, it does not cause pairing of electrons in the d-orbitals. - The 3d orbitals will have 6 electrons, and there will be no unpaired electrons, making it **diamagnetic** and **low spin**. **Hint:** For weak field ligands, electrons tend to remain unpaired. 2. **Analyzing CuFe-3:** - The complex CuFe-3 involves cobalt in the +3 oxidation state, which again has a configuration of 3d⁶ 4s⁰. - However, in the presence of a strong field ligand (like F⁻), pairing occurs. - The 3d orbitals will have all 6 electrons paired, resulting in **4 unpaired electrons** and making it **paramagnetic** and **high spin**. **Hint:** Strong field ligands promote electron pairing, leading to paramagnetism. 3. **Evaluating [Rh(Fe(CN)6)]³⁻:** - Rhodium (Rh) has an atomic number of 45, with a configuration of [Kr] 4d⁸ 5s². - In the +3 oxidation state, its configuration becomes 4d⁶ 5s⁰. - The presence of CN⁻, a strong field ligand, causes pairing of electrons. - Therefore, all 6 electrons in the 4d orbitals are paired, resulting in **no unpaired electrons**, making it **diamagnetic** and **low spin**. **Hint:** Strong field ligands lead to low spin configurations with paired electrons. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the analysis: - Option 1: Correct (diamagnetic, low spin, no unpaired electrons) - Option 2: Correct (paramagnetic, high spin, 4 unpaired electrons) - Option 3: Correct (diamagnetic, low spin, no unpaired electrons) - Option 4: Incorrect (not high spin, low spin instead) Thus, the correct statements are options 1, 2, and 3. ### Final Answer: Options 1, 2, and 3 are correct. Option 4 is incorrect.
