  1. A \(\left[ Co \left( NH _3\right)_6\right]^{3+}\)
  2. B \(\left[ CoCl \left( NH _3\right)_5\right]^{2+}\)
  3. C \(\left[ Co \left( NH _3\right)_5\left( H _2 O \right)\right]^{3+}\)
  4. D \(\left[ Co ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\left[ Co ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text{Ligand field strength: } \text{Cl}^- \(\text{Strongest ligand field } \Rightarrow \text{largest } \Delta_o \Rightarrow \text{highest energy absorbed } \Rightarrow \text{lowest wavelength absorbed.}\)…
