The d-orbital electronic configuration of the complex among [ Co ( en )₃ ]³⁺, [ CoF ₆ ]³⁻ , [ Mn ( H ₂ O )₆ ]²⁺ and [ Zn ( H ₂ O )₆ ]²⁺ that has the highest CFSE is :
Options
- At₂^6 g_g^0
- Bt₂^6 e_g^4
- Ct_ 2 g ^3 e_g^2
- Dt₂^4 e_g^2
Correct answer
A. t₂^6 g_g^0
Step-by-step solution
In [ Co ( en )₃ ]⁺³ S.F.L. is present and hence highest value of CFSE In rest all complexes WFL is present hence CFSE will be low. [ Co ( en )₃ ]⁺³ Co ⁺³ and en (SFL) Co ⁺³ [ Ar ] 3 ~d ^6
