Which of the following facts about the complex is wrong?

  1. A
    The complex is paramagnetic
  2. B
    The complex is an outer orbital complex
  3. C
    The complex gives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution
  4. D
    The complex involves hybridization and is octahedral in shape.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In , Chromium is in oxidation state ()..The three electrons occupy the orbitals. Two empty orbitals are available for hybridization with and .Hybridization is , which makes it an inner orbital complex, not an outer orbital one.It is paramagnetic ( unpaired electrons) and releases chloride ions in solution to react with .
