  3. A, B, C, D & E
  4. A, B & D Only

Answer

(4) A, B & D Only

Solution

A. Co3+, 3d6; NH3 pairs the electrons two 3d orbitals free d2sp3, inner orbital. Correct.

B. Mn3+, 3d4; Cl- is weak field 4d orbitals used sp3d2, outer orbital. Correct.

C. Co3+, 3d6; F- is weak field outer orbital, but hybridisation is sp3d2, not d2sp3. Incorrect.

D. Fe3+, 3d5; F- is weak field sp3d2, outer orbital. Correct.

E. Ni2+, 3d8; CN- pairs the electrons one 3d orbital free dsp2 (square planar), not sp3. Incorrect.
