Question

Explain co nh3 6 3+ is an inner orbital complex

Answer 1

Explanation:

In [Co(NH3)6]3+ Co is in +3 state and has configuration 3d6. In the presence of NH3, 3d electrons pair up leaving two d-orbitals empty. Hence, the hybridization is d2sp3 forming and inner orbital complex. ... The hybridization is sp3d2 forming an outer orbital complex.

Answer 2

In [Co(NH3)6]3+ Co is in +3 state and has configuration 3d6. In the presence of NH3, 3d electrons pair up leaving two d-orbitals empty. Hence, the hybridization is d2sp3 forming and inner orbital complex.
