Question

$\lbrack Co(C_{2}O_{4})_{3}\rbrack^{3 -}$ is a diamagnetic complex because

A

$C_{2}O_{4}^{2 -}$ is strong field ligand hence causes pairing of electrons

B

$C_{2}O_{4}^{2 -}$ is a bidentate ligand hence causes pairing of electrons.

C

Co is a strong central atom hence in all complexes of Co electrons are paired

D

$C_{2}O_{4}^{2 -}$ is a strong field ligand hence causes splitting of d-orbitals.

Answer

$C_{2}O_{4}^{2 -}$ is strong field ligand hence causes pairing of electrons

Explanation

Solution

$\lbrack Co(C_{2}O_{4})_{3}\rbrack^{3 -}$
