Question
A complex [Col6]n+ where L is netural ligand has a magnetic moment μ = 4.5 B. M.Hence
Options
A.Co must be in +2 oxidation state
B.L must be a strong ligand
C.The complex must be highly distance
D.Co must be in +3 oxidation state
Solution
Co must be in +3 oxidation state and the ligand L should be s weak ligand.
Co3+ = [Ar]3d6
n = 4, μ = 4.5BM.
Co3+ = [Ar]3d6

n = 4, μ = 4.5BM.
