Which one of the following is a low spin complex?

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left[ Co \left( NH _3\right)_6\right]^{3+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \( \left[ Co \left( NH _3\right)_6\right]^{3+} \): \( Co^{3+} \) is \( d^6 \). \( NH_3 \) is a strong field ligand. A \( d^6 \) complex with strong field ligands is low spin.
