Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (D), (B), (A), (C)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) \([CoF_6]^{3-}\): \(Co^{3+}\) (\(3d^6\)), \(F^-\) (weak field) \(\Rightarrow n = 4\) (B) \([Co(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\): \(Co^{2+}\) (\(3d^7\)), \(H_2O\) (weak field) \(\Rightarrow n = 3\) (C) \([FeF_6]^{3-}\): \(Fe^{3+}\) (\(3d^5\)), \(F^-\) (weak field) \(\Rightarrow n = 5\) (D)…
