  1. A \(\left[\mathrm{CoF}_{6}\right]^{3-}\)
  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{3-}\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left[\mathrm{CoF}_{6}\right]^{3-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(\left[\mathrm{CoF}_{6}\right]^{3-}, \mathrm{F}^{-}\)is a weak ligand. It cannot pair up \(d\)-electrons and form outer orbital octahedral complex while \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) and \(\mathrm{CN}^{-}\)are strong ligand. In \(\left[\mathrm{CoF}_{6}\right]^{3-}\), outer orbital…
