JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 3 of 3cc081

Take as weak field (Co(III) high spin) and as strong field (Co(III) low spin). Select the correct statements about and .

  1. A has four unpaired electrons
  2. B is diamagnetic
  3. CCobalt is in the +3 state in both complexes
  4. DThe CFSE of is

Answer: A, B, C

Both are Co(III), . High-spin has 4 unpaired electrons and CFSE , so the last statement is false. Low-spin is diamagnetic with CFSE .
