Vedclass · Answer

(A) The atomic number of Cobalt $(Co)$ is $27$. The electronic configuration of $Co$ is $[Ar] 3d^7 4s^2$.In the complex $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$,the oxidation state of $Co$ is $+3$. Thus,the configuration of $Co^{3+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^6$.$NH_3$ is a strong field ligand,which causes the pairing of electrons in the $3d$ orbitals.After pairing,two $3d$ orbitals,one $4s$ orbital,and three $4p$ orbitals become available for hybridization.Therefore,the hybridization involved is $d^2sp^3$.

What type of hybridization is present in $[Co(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$ complex?
