Question:
Which of the following facts about the complex [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 is wrong?
The complex is an outer orbital complex.
The complex gives white precipitate with silver nitrate solution.
The complex involves d2sp3 hybridization and is octahedral in shape.
The complex is paramagnetic.
Solution:
The complex [Cr(NH3)6]Cl3 involves d2sp3 hybridization as it involves (n-1)d orbitals for hybridization. It is an inner orbital complex. The d-orbital involved in hybridization belongs to the penultimate shell due to the presence of a strong ligand.
