Consider the two complex ions \(\text{[CoF}_6]^{3-}\) and \(\text{[Co(C}_2\text{O}_4)_3]^{3-}\), which of the following statement (s) is/are false :
(A) Both are octahedral.
(B) \(\text{[Co(C}_2\text{O}_4)_3]^{3-}\) is diamagnetic, while \(\text{[CoF}_6]^{3-}\) is paramagnetic.
(C) Both are outer orbital complexes.
(D) In both the complexes the central metal is in the same oxidation state.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (B) and (C) Only
  2. B (B), (C) and (D) Only
  3. C (C) Only
  4. D (A), (C) and (D) Only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (C) Only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text{Co}\) oxidation state in \(\text{[CoF}_6]^{3-}\) and \(\text{[Co(C}_2\text{O}_4)_3]^{3-}\) is \(+3\), corresponding to \(\text{Co}^{3+}\) (\(d^6\)). \(\text{[CoF}_6]^{3-}\): \(\text{F}^-\) is a weak field ligand. \(\text{Co}^{3+}\) forms a high spin \(d^6\) complex…
