NEET Chemistry Crystal Field Theory MCQ Question
[Co(C₂O₄)₃]³⁻ is a diamagnetic complex because
C₂O₄²⁻ is strong field ligand hence causes pairing of electrons
C₂O₄²⁻ is a bidentate ligand hence causes pairing of electrons
Co³⁺ is a strong central atom hence in all complexes of Co³⁺ electrons are paired
C₂O₄²⁻ is a strong field ligand hence causes splitting of d-orbitals
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
C₂O₄²⁻ is a strong field ligand that causes pairing of electrons in the d-orbitals, resulting in a diamagnetic complex.
