QJEEM04Ch095a: JEE Main 2004 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM04Ch095a Solution: Which one of the following complexes in an outer orbital complex?

Which one of the following complexes in an outer orbital complex?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A [Fe(CN)6]4-
  • B [Ni(NH3)6]2+
  • C [Co(NH3)6]3+
  • D [Mn(CN)6]4-

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Hybridisation

[Fe(CN)6]4−,d2sp3[Mn(CN)6]4−,d2sp3

[Co(NH3)3]3+,d2sp3[Ni(NH3)6]2+sp3d2

Hence [Ni(NH3)6]2+ is outer orbital complex.
