Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (i) \(-0.4\Delta_0\)    (ii) \(0\ \Delta_0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For the complex \([\text{CoF}_6]^{3-}\): The oxidation state of Co is \(+3\). The electronic configuration of \(\text{Co}^{3+}\) is \(3d^6\). Since \(\text{F}^-\) is a weak field ligand, the complex is high-spin. The electrons are distributed in the \(t_{2g}\) and \(e_g\)…
