- B\left[\mathrm{Ti}\left(\mathrm{OH}_2\right)_6\right]^{3+}
- C\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{OH}_2\right)_6\right]^{3+}
- D\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{OH}_2\right)_6\right]^{3+}
Correct answer
A. \left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{OH}_2\right)_6\right]^{3+}
Step-by-step solution
smaller cations prefer coordinate bonding due to greater polarizing power. radius, radius radius, radius So, has highest tendency to attract ligand.
