The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following complexes is both an inner orbital and a low spin complex, we need to analyze the given complexes based on their metal oxidation states, electron configurations, and the nature of the ligands. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the complexes**: We need to analyze the following complexes: - Cr(H2O)6^3+ - Fe(CN)6^3- - Cu(CN)4^3- - Mn(NH3)6^2+ 2. **Determine the oxidation states and electron configurations**: - **Cr(H2O)6^3+**: Chromium (Cr) has an atomic number of 24. In the +3 oxidation state, its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d^3. H2O is a weak field ligand, leading to high spin. - **Fe(CN)6^3-**: Iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26. In the +3 oxidation state, its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d^5. CN^- is a strong field ligand, leading to pairing of electrons, resulting in low spin. - **Cu(CN)4^3-**: Copper (Cu) has an atomic number of 29. In the +1 oxidation state, its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d^10. CN^- is a strong field ligand, but all electrons are paired, leading to no inner orbital hybridization. - **Mn(NH3)6^2+**: Manganese (Mn) has an atomic number of 25. In the +2 oxidation state, its electron configuration is [Ar] 3d^5. NH3 is a moderate field ligand, which can lead to low spin if pairing occurs. 3. **Analyze hybridization**: - **Cr(H2O)6^3+**: Coordination number is 6, hybridization is d^2sp^3 (inner orbital), but it is high spin. - **Fe(CN)6^3-**: Coordination number is 6, hybridization is d^2sp^3 (inner orbital), and it is low spin. - **Cu(CN)4^3-**: Coordination number is 4, hybridization is sp^3 (outer orbital), and it is not low spin. - **Mn(NH3)6^2+**: Coordination number is 6, hybridization is d^2sp^3 (inner orbital), and it can be low spin depending on the ligand strength. 4. **Conclusion**: The complex that is both an inner orbital and a low spin complex is **Fe(CN)6^3-**. ### Final Answer: The complex that is both an inner orbital and a low spin complex is **Fe(CN)6^3-**.

To determine which of the following complexes is both an inner orbital and a low spin complex, we need to analyze the given complexes based on their metal oxidation states, electron configurations, and the nature of the ligands. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the complexes**: We need to analyze the following complexes: - Cr(H2O)6^3+ - Fe(CN)6^3- - Cu(CN)4^3- ...
