Draw the structure of [Co(NH3)6]3+ ion. Also show hybridization in this complex.
Geometry of [Co(NH3)6]3+ is octahedral. Structure is as follows:
Oxidation state of Cobalt is +3. Its outer electronic configuration is 3d6.
Oxidation state of Cobalt is +3. Its outer electronic configuration is 3d6.
NH3 being a strong field ligand causes the pairing. Therefore, Co can undergo d 2 sp 3hybridization.
