An octahedral complex of Co3+is diamagnetic. The hybridisation involved in the formation of the complex is :

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

2 7 Co 3 +  has 24 Electrons i.e 6 electrons in inner 3d orbital of central metal ion for diamagnetic behaviour these d6 Electrons have to be paired and due to pairing two inner d-orbitals get empty and hybridisation is d2sp3.
