The metal d-orbitals that are directly facing the ligands in K3[Co(CN)6] are -
Multiple Choice Options
- A dx2−y2 and dz2
- B dxy, dxz and dyz
- C dxz, dyz and dz2
- D dxy and dx2 − y2
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Due to presence of strong field ligand (CN–) pairing occurs in which two d-orbitals i.e., dx2–y2 and dz2 directly face the CN- ligand.
