Explain why [Co(NH3)6]3+ is an inner orbital complex whereas [Ni(NH3)6]2+ is an outer orbital complex. (At. no. Co = 27, Ni = 28) -Chemistry

1 Answer

Answer :

In [Co(NH3)6]3+, the d-electrons of Co3+ ([Ar]3d6 45°) get paired leaving behind two empty d-orbital and undergo d2sp3 hybridization and hence inner orbital complex, while in [Ni(NH3)6]2+ the d-electrons of Ni2+([Ar]3d8 45°) do not pair up and use outer 4d subshell hence outer orbital complex.
