    Which one of the following complexes is an outer orbital complex?  (Atomic nos.: Mn = 25; Fe = 26; Co = 27, Ni = 28)

    A) \[{{[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}}\]        

    B) \[{{[Mn{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\]

    C) \[{{\left[ Fe{{\left( CN \right)}_{6}} \right]}^{4-}}\]        

    D) \[{{[Ni{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Hybridisation \[\underset{{{d}^{2}}s{{p}^{3}}}{\mathop{{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}}}\,,\underset{{{d}^{2}}s{{p}^{3}}}{\mathop{{{[Mn{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}}}\,\], \[\underset{{{d}^{2}}s{{p}^{3}}}{\mathop{{{[Co{{(NH)}_{3}}]}^{3+}}}}\,,\underset{s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}}}{\mathop{{{[Ni{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{2+}}}}\,\] Hence \[{{[Ni{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\] is outer orbital complex.
