  3. C \( \left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{Cl})_{6}\right]^{3-} \)
  4. D \( \left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+} \)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \( \left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{Cl})_{6}\right]^{3-} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnitude of \( \Delta_{0} \) depends upon the type of ligands. For examples; strong field ligands have high magnitude of the
\( \Delta_{0} \) and weak field ligands low magnitude of \( \Delta_{o} \). Spectro chemical order of the ligands \( \mathrm{Cl}^{-} < \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} < \mathrm{NH}_{3} < \mathrm{CN}^{-} \)
\( \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \)is a weak field ligand, therefore, \( \Delta_{o} \) will be minimum
