Question

Identify the INCORRECT statement about the complex from its electronic configuration as shown.

• A. complex is paramagnetic
• B. complex is octahedral outer orbital complex
• C. complex is $d^{2}s{p}^3$ hybridized
• D. complex is octahedral inner orbital complex

Answer 1

The correct option is B complex is octahedral outer orbital complex

There is one unpaired electron in the 3d orbitals. The presence of unpaired electrons makes a complex paramagnetic.
Six vacant orbitals form $d^{2}s{p}^3$ hybridized octahedral inner orbitals complex.
Hence, option (b) is the orrect answer.
