Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[ Co \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}+ NH _{3}(\) excess \() \rightarrow\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}+6 H _{2} O\) Diamagnetic \(\rightarrow\) Low spin complex \(Co ^{3+} \Rightarrow 3 d ^{6} 4 s ^{0}\)…
