Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) I, III and IV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statements given in I, III and IV are true regarding \(\left[\mathrm{CoF}_6\right]^{3-}\) ion while II is false. The correct form of statement II is coordination number of Co is 6 and its oxidation state is +3 .
