Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Pairing energy neglected w.r.t. \(\Delta_0\) \(\left[ Co ( ox )_3\right]^{3-}: Co ^{+3}: d ^6 ; t _2 g^{2,2,2} eg ^{0,0}\) \(CFSE =6 \times\left(-0.4 \Delta_0\right)=-2.4 \Delta_0\) \(\left[ Cr \left( ox _3\right)\right]^{3-}: Cr ^{+3}: d ^3 ; t _2 g^{1,1,1} eg ^{0,0}\)…
