`[CoF_(6)]^(3-)` forms outer orbital complexes while `(Co(CN)_(6)]^(3-)`forms inner orbital complexes. Why

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why \([CoF_6]^{3-}\) forms outer orbital complexes while \([Co(CN)_6]^{3-}\) forms inner orbital complexes, we need to analyze the nature of the ligands involved and their effect on the electronic configuration of the cobalt ion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the oxidation state of cobalt in both complexes**: - In both complexes, cobalt is in the +3 oxidation state. This can be determined by considering the charges of the ligands and the overall charge of the complex. 2. **Determine the electronic configuration of Co(III)**: ...
