Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) - (IV), (B) - (III), (C) - (II), (D) - (I)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) \(\left[ Co \left( NH _3\right)_6\right]^{3+}\): Co oxidation state = +3. Co(III) is \(d^6\). \(\text{NH}_3\) is strong field, so electrons pair up (\(d^2sp^3\)). Inner orbital complex. Match: (IV). (B) \(\left[ CoF _6\right]^{3-}\): Co oxidation state = +3. Co(III) is…
