The correct Answer is:
To determine the homoleptic complex from the given options, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Homoleptic Complex**: - A homoleptic complex is defined as a coordination complex that contains only one type of ligand coordinated to the central metal atom or ion. 2. **Identify the Ligands and Metal in the Options**: - In the provided options, we need to identify the ligands and the metal involved in each complex. 3. **Analyze Each Option**: - Check each option to see if it contains only one type of ligand. - For example, if one option has NH3 as the only ligand, it would be a homoleptic complex. - If another option has both NH3 and Cl2, it would not be homoleptic since it contains more than one type of ligand. 4. **Select the Correct Option**: - After analyzing all the options, select the one that contains only one type of ligand. - In this case, the option with Co(NH3)6^3+ contains only NH3 as the ligand, making it a homoleptic complex. 5. **Conclusion**: - The homoleptic complex identified is Co(NH3)6^3+. ### Final Answer: The homoleptic complex is Co(NH3)6^3+.
