Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions:
To explain bonding in coordination compounds various theories were proposed. One of the important theory was valence bond theory. According to that, the central metal ion in the complex makes available a number of empty orbitals for the formation of coordination bonds with suitable ligands. The appropriate atomic orbitals of the metal hybridise to give a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry.
The $d-$orbitals involved in the hybridisation may be either inner $d-$orbitals i.e.$, (n - 1)d$ or outer $d-$orbitals i.e.$, nd.$
For example, $Co^{3+}$ forms both inner orbital and outer orbital complexes, with ammonia it forms $[\ce{Co(NH3)6]^{3+}}$ and with fluorine it forms $[\ce{CoF6]^{3-}}$ complex ion.
The following questions are multiple choice questions. Choose the most appropriate answer :
