Which of the following facts about the complex is wrong?
- AThe complex is paramagnetic
- BThe complex is an outer orbital complex
- CThe complex gives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution
- DThe 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 .
