The number of unpaired electrons in the complex ion [CoF6]3- is (Atomic no. : Co = 27)

  1. 2
  2. 3
  3. 4
  4. zero

Answer

(3) 4

Solution

Oxidation state of Co: x + 6(-1) = -3 ⇒ x = +3

Co3+: [Ar] 3d6

As per NCERT, F- is a weak field ligand ⇒ no pairing; [CoF6]3- is an outer orbital (sp3d2), high spin complex.

⇒ 3d6 (high spin): t2g4 eg2 ⇒ 4 unpaired electrons

∴ Number of unpaired electrons = 4

Answer: (3)

In the silver plating of copper, K[Ag(CN)2] is used instead of AgNO3. The reason is

  1. a thin layer of Ag is formed on Cu
  2. more voltage is required
  3. Ag+ ions are completely removed from solution
  4. less availability of Ag+ ions, as Cu cannot displace Ag from [Ag(CN)2]- ion.
