  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4\right)\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_4\right]^{\oplus}\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3 \oplus}\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_4 \mathrm{Cl}_2\right]^{\ominus}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3 \oplus}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Homoleptic complexes are the complexes in which all the ligands attached to central metal atom/ion are same or identical: \(\left.\therefore \mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}\) is a homoleptic complex whereas other complexes are not.
