The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to evaluate each of the three statements provided regarding the coordination compounds. Let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Evaluate Statement 1 **Statement 1:** In \([Cr(NH_3)_6]Cl_3\), the Werner primary valency is 3. **Solution:** - The compound \([Cr(NH_3)_6]Cl_3\) can be written as \([Cr(NH_3)_6]^{3+} + 3Cl^-\). - The primary valency refers to the ionizable charge of the complex, which corresponds to the number of chloride ions that can dissociate. - Since there are 3 chloride ions, the primary valency of chromium in this complex is indeed 3. **Conclusion:** Statement 1 is **True (T)**. ### Step 2: Evaluate Statement 2 **Statement 2:** \([Cr(NH_3)_6]Cl_3\) is paramagnetic. **Solution:** - The electronic configuration of chromium (Cr) is \([Ar] 3d^5 4s^1\). - When Cr is in the +3 oxidation state, it loses 3 electrons, resulting in the configuration \([Ar] 3d^3\). - In an octahedral field created by the six ammonia ligands, the 3d orbitals split into two sets (t2g and eg). - The three electrons will occupy the lower energy t2g orbitals, resulting in three unpaired electrons. - Since there are unpaired electrons, the complex is paramagnetic. **Conclusion:** Statement 2 is **True (T)**. ### Step 3: Evaluate Statement 3 **Statement 3:** \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\) is a low spin complex. **Solution:** - The electronic configuration of cobalt (Co) is \([Ar] 3d^7 4s^2\). - For Co in the +3 oxidation state, it loses 3 electrons, resulting in the configuration \([Ar] 3d^6\). - Ammonia (NH3) is a strong field ligand, which causes the electrons to pair up in the lower energy t2g orbitals. - Therefore, in \([Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\), all six d electrons are paired, indicating that it is a low spin complex. **Conclusion:** Statement 3 is **True (T)**. ### Final Summary - Statement 1: True (T) - Statement 2: True (T) - Statement 3: True (T) Thus, the final answer is **TTT**.
