Given below are two statements : Statement I: Both [Co(NH3)6]3+\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+} and \left[\mathrm{CoF}_6\right]^{3-}complexesareoctahedralbutdifferintheirmagneticbehaviour.StatementII:complexes are octahedral but differ in their magnetic behaviour. Statement II:\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}isdiamagneticwhereas[CoF6]3−is diamagnetic whereas \left[\mathrm{CoF}_6\right]^{3-} is paramagnetic. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:Given below are two statements : Statement I: Both [Co(NH_3)_6]^ 3+ and [CoF_6]^ 3- complexes are octahedral but differGiven below are two statements : Statement I: Both [Co(NH_3)_6]^ 3+ and [CoF_6]^ 3- complexes are octahedral but differGiven below are two statements : Statement I: Both [Co(NH_3)_6]^ 3+ and [CoF_6]^ 3- complexes are octahedral but differ

Options

  1. ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false
  2. BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
  3. CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
  4. DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true

Correct answer

D. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Step-by-step solution

In [Co(NH3)6]3+,Co3+\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}, \mathrm{Co}^{3+} ion is having 3 d63 \mathrm{~d}^6 configuration. Electronic configuration of Co3+\mathrm{Co}^{3+} : Given below are two statements : Statement I: Both [Co(NH_3)_6]^ 3+ and [CoF_6]^ 3- complexes are octahedral but differ
In presence of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 ligand, pairing of electrons takes place and it becomes diamagnetic complex ion. In presence of NH3\mathrm{NH}_3 ligand :Given below are two statements : Statement I: Both [Co(NH_3)_6]^ 3+ and [CoF_6]^ 3- complexes are octahedral but differ
∴\therefore \quad\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+} is octahedral with d2sp3\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{sp}^3 hybridisation and it is diamagnetic in nature. In case of \left[\mathrm{CoF}_6\right]^{3-},Coisin+3oxidationstateanditishaving, Co is in +3 oxidation state and it is having3 \mathrm{~d}^6configuration.Inpresenceofweakfieldconfiguration.
