    Which of the following is / are inner orbital complex (es) as well as diamagnetic in nature?

    A) \[{{[Zn{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\]                     

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

    C) \[{{[Cr{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}}\]                     

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

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [D]
    [a] Because of \[3{{d}^{10}}\] configuration no \[\left( n-1 \right)d\] orbital is available for \[{{d}^{2}}s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridization and thus forms outer orbital complex. The complex is diamagnetic.
    [b] Because of \[3{{d}^{8}}\]configuration no \[\left( n-1 \right)d\] orbital is available for \[{{d}^{2}}s{{p}^{3}}\] hybridization and thus forms outer orbital complex. The complex is paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons.
    [c] The complex is inner orbital complex but \[3{{d}^{3}}\] configuration has three unpaired electrons with weak as well as with strong field ligand.
    [d] In the diamagnetic octahedral complex,\[{{[Co{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}},\]the cobalt ion is in +3 oxidation state.
