The correct Answer is:
To determine the hybridization of the central metal ions in the complexes `[Fe(H_2O)_6 NO]` and `[Cr(NH_3)_6](NO_2)_3`, we will analyze each complex step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first complex `[Fe(H_2O)_6 NO]` 1. **Identify the oxidation state of Iron (Fe)**: - In the complex, the overall charge is neutral. The water (H2O) and NO ligands are neutral, so the oxidation state of Fe must be +2. 2. **Determine the electronic configuration of Fe in +2 state**: - The ground state electronic configuration of Fe (atomic number 26) is: \[ [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2 \] - After losing 2 electrons (from the 4s orbital), the configuration becomes: \[ [Ar] 3d^6 \] 3. **Count the number of unpaired electrons**: - The 3d subshell has 6 electrons. Since H2O is a weak field ligand, it does not cause pairing of electrons. Therefore, the configuration in the 3d subshell can be represented as: \[ ↑↓ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ \] - There are 4 unpaired electrons. 4. **Determine the hybridization**: - Since there are 6 ligands (H2O), the hybridization will be: \[ sp^3d^2 \] ### Step 2: Analyze the second complex `[Cr(NH_3)_6](NO_2)_3` 1. **Identify the oxidation state of Chromium (Cr)**: - The complex has a neutral charge overall. The ammonia (NH3) ligands are neutral, and the NO2 ligands have a -1 charge. Therefore, the oxidation state of Cr must be +3. 2. **Determine the electronic configuration of Cr in +3 state**: - The ground state electronic configuration of Cr (atomic number 24) is: \[ [Ar] 3d^5 4s^1 \] - After losing 3 electrons (2 from 4s and 1 from 3d), the configuration becomes: \[ [Ar] 3d^3 \] 3. **Count the number of unpaired electrons**: - The 3d subshell has 3 electrons. Since NH3 is also a weak field ligand, it does not cause pairing of electrons. Therefore, the configuration in the 3d subshell can be represented as: \[ ↑ ↑ ↑ \] - There are 3 unpaired electrons. 4. **Determine the hybridization**: - Since there are 6 ligands (NH3), the hybridization will be: \[ d^2sp^3 \] ### Final Answer: - The hybridization of the central metal ions in the complexes are: - For `[Fe(H_2O)_6 NO]`: **sp³d²** - For `[Cr(NH_3)_6](NO_2)_3`: **d²sp³**
