Give the oxidation state, d orbital configuration and coordination number of the central metal ion in (NH 4 ) 2 [CoF 4 ]
Options
- AOxidation state = +2, Coordination number=5 and d-orbital configuration=t 2g 6 e g 1
- BOxidation state = +3, Coordination number=6 and d-orbital configuration=t 2g 5 e g 2
- COxidation state = +1, Coordination number=4 and d-orbital configuration=t 2g 3 e g 4
- DOxidation state = +2, Coordination number=4 and d-orbital configuration=t 2g 5 e g 2
Correct answer
D. Oxidation state = +2, Coordination number=4 and d-orbital configuration=t 2g 5 e g 2
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Oxidation state = +2, Coordination number=4 and d-orbital configuration=t 2g 5 e g 2
