Step-by-Step Verified Solution

[Co(NH3)6]3+

Co3+(\mathrm{Co}^{3+}( strong field ligand )⇒3 d6(t2 g6,eg0)) \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^6\left(\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}^6, \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}^0\right) ,

Hybridisation : d2sp3\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{sp}^3

Inner obital complex(spin paired complex)

Pairing will take place.

[CoF6]3−

Co3+(\mathrm{Co}^{3+}( weak field ligand )⇒3 d6(t2 g4,eg2)) \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^6\left(\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}^4, \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}^2\right)

Hybridisation : sp3 d2\mathrm{sp}^3 \mathrm{~d}^2

Outer orbital complex (spin free complex)

No pairing will take place
