Among the statementsa-d, the incorrect ones are:
aOctahedralCoIIIcomplexes with strong field ligands have very high magnetic moments
bWhen0<P, the d-electron configuration ofCoIIIin an octahedral complex isteg4eg2
cWavelength of light absorbed byCoen33+is lower than that ofCoF63-
dIf the0for an octahedral complex ofCoIIIis18,000cm-1, thetfor its tetrahedral complex with the same ligand will be16,000cm-1.

Question diagram: Among the statements a - d , the incorrect ones are: a Octah

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:


So if there are strong field ligands in complex, pairing of electrons will take place, due to which number of unpaired electrons decrease due to which magnetic moment decrease.
(c)Splitting power of ethylenediamine (en) is greater than fluoride F ligand therefore more energy absorbed by Co en 3+  as compared toCoF 6 3

So wave length of light absorbed by Co en 3+ is lower than that of CoF 6 3

(d) Δt=49Δ0

so if  Δ0=18,000 cm1

Δt=49×18000=8000 cm1

Statement(a)and(d)are incorrect.
