Vedclass · Answer

(B) For $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$: The central metal ion is $Co^{3+}$ ($3d^6$ configuration). $NH_3$ is a strong field ligand,which causes pairing of electrons in the $d$-orbitals. This results in a $d^2sp^3$ hybridization,forming an inner orbital complex (spin-paired complex).For $[CoF_6]^{3-}$: The central metal ion is $Co^{3+}$ ($3d^6$ configuration). $F^-$ is a weak field ligand,which does not cause pairing of electrons. This results in an $sp^3d^2$ hybridization,forming an outer orbital complex (spin-free complex).Therefore,the correct sequence is spin-paired complex and spin-free complex.

List-$I$ $(Compounds)$	List-$II$ $(Hybridization)$
$(a)$ $[Ni(NH_3)_6]^{+2}$	$(i)$ $sp^3 d^2$
$(b)$ $[PtCl_4]^{-2}$	$(ii)$ $dsp^2$
$(c)$ $[Ni(CO)_4]$	$(iii)$ $sp^3$
$(d)$ $[Co(OX)_3]^{-3}$	$(iv)$ $d^2 sp^3$

$[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$ and $[CoF_6]^{3-}$ are respectively known as:
