NEET Chemistry Ligands MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

Calculate the crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) in terms of D_o for the high spin complex [CoF6]3-.

A

-0.4 D_o

B

-0.6 D_o

C

-1.2 D_o

D

-2.4 D_o

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

For a high spin d6 complex like [CoF6]3-, the CFSE is calculated as (-2/5)D_o for four t2g electrons and (+3/5)D_o for two e_g electrons, resulting in (-2/5)D_o * 4 + (+3/5)D_o * 2 = -1.2 D_o.
