Which of the following facts about the complex [Cr (NH3)6 ]Cl3 is wrong?

Multiple Choice Options

  • A The complex is paramagnetic
  • B The complex is an outer orbital complex
  • C The complex gives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution
  • D The complex involves d2sp3 hybridization and is octahedral in shape.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

[Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 is an inner orbital complex, because in this complex d−orbital used is of lower quantum number i.e. (n−1). It results from d2 sp3 (inner orbital) hybridization.
