- C
- D
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Those orbitals which utilizes 3d-orbitals for bonding and exhibit paramagnetic behaviour forms outer orbital complex.
Ni +2 = [Ar] 3d 8 4s 0
_ It forms outer orbital complex.
(b) [Zn(NH 3 ) 6 ] 2+ _ outer orbital complex but diamagnetic
(c) [Cr(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ _ inner orbital complex but paramagnetic
(d) [Co(NH 3 ) 6 ] 3+ _ inner orbital complex but diamagnetic
