NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3cc166

The central metal hybridisation and the type of complex for the low-spin complex are:

  1. A, inner orbital
  2. B, outer orbital
  3. C, inner orbital
  4. D, outer orbital

Answer: A

is . The strong-field ligand pairs the six electrons in three orbitals, leaving two orbitals empty. These two , one and three orbitals hybridise to give , an inner-orbital complex.
