Discuss structure of `[Co(NH_3)_6]^(3+)` complex ion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`Co^(3+)` ion has electronic configuration of [Ar] `3d^6`. Since `NH_3`, is a stronger ligand, it causes pairing of unpaired electrons. Now six empty orbitals (two 3d, one 4s and three 4p) get hybridised to give six `d^2sp^3` hybrid orbitals. The complex has octahedral geometry. As the complex ion has no unpaired electron so it is diamagnetic.
