Question

Which of the following facts about the complex $[Cr(N{H}_3{)}_6]C{l}_3$ is wrong?

• A. The complex involves $d^{2}s{p}^3$ hybridisation and is octahedral in shape
• B. The complex is paramagnetic
• C. The complex is an outer orbital complex
• D. The complex gives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

The complex $[Cr(N{H}_3{)}_6]C{l}_3$ involves $d^{2}s{p}^3$ hybridization as it involves $(n-1)d$ orbitals for ; hybridization. It is an inner orbital complex.
