Among the statementsa-d, the incorrect ones are:
aOctahedralCoIIIcomplexes with strong field ligands have very high magnetic moments
bWhen∆0<P, the d-electron configuration ofCoIIIin an octahedral complex isteg4eg2
cWavelength of light absorbed byCoen33+is lower than that ofCoF63-
dIf the∆0for an octahedral complex ofCoIIIis18,000cm-1, the∆tfor its tetrahedral complex with the same ligand will be16,000cm-1.

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 cm−1

Δt=49×18000=8000 cm−1

Statement(a)and(d)are incorrect.
