The hybridisation of atom ' X ' with atomic number 27 in [X ~F ₆ ]³⁻ is
Options
- Ad s p^2
- Bd^2 s p^3
- Cs p^3 d^2
- Ds p^3
Correct answer
C. s p^3 d^2
Step-by-step solution
The atomic number of Co is 27 and its valence shell electronic configuration is 3 d^7 4 s^2 . Hence, X= Co atom and [ ( CoF ₆ )³⁺ ] complex have s p^3 d^2 hybridisation and shape is octahedral.
