Question

Which of the following is true regarding $V{O}_4^{3-}$?

• A. It is paramagnetic in nature.
• B. It is an inner orbital complex.
• C. It has a trigonal planar shape.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B It is an inner orbital complex.

$V{O}_4^{3-}$:
Hybridisation: $d^{3}s$
Shape:Tetrahedral
Coordination number is 4. It has no unpaired electrons and hence diamagentic in nature.
${\mu }_{ex}=0$
