Among the statements \((a)-(d)\), the incorrect ones are \((a)\) Octahedral \(Co(III)\) complexes with strong field ligands have very high magnetic moments \((b)\) When \(\Delta_{0}< P\), the \(d-\)electron configuration of \(Co(III)\) in an octahedral complex is \(t_{\text {eg }}^{4} e_{g}^{2}\) \((c)\) Wavelength of light absorbed by \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right]^{3+}\) is lower than that of \(\left[\mathrm{CoF}_{6}\right]^{3-}\) \((d)\) If the \(\Delta_{0}\) for an octahedral complex of \(\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{III})\) is \(18,000 \;\mathrm{cm}^{-1},\) the \(\Delta_{\mathrm{t}}\) for its tetrahedral complex with the same ligand will be \(16,000\;\mathrm{cm}^{-1}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((a)\) and \((d)\) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(c) Splitting power of ethylenediamine (en) is greater than fluoride (F) ligand therefore more energy absorbed by \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{en})_{3}\right]^{3+}\) as compared to \(\left[\mathrm{CoF}_{6}\right]^{3-}\) So wave length of light absorbed by…
