Verified Solution • 2025–26 Session moderate

In which of the following octahedral complexes of Co (at. no. 27), will the magnitude of

\Delta _o

be the highest?

Accepted Answer

In octahedral complex the magnitude of

{\Delta _o}

will be highest in a complex having strongest ligand. Of the given ligands

C{N^ - }

is strongest so

{\Delta _o}

will be highest for

{\left( {Co{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right)^{3 - }}.

Thus option

(a)

is correct.
