Question 12

Multiple Choice

The complexes Co(NH3) 63+ and Mo(CO) 6 are isoelectronic and diamagnetic. The first complex is orange and the second complex is white. What can you deduce about the value of Δ\Delta in both of these complexes?(If needed, use the following equation:Spectrochemical Series
I- < Br- < Cl- < F- < OH- < H2O< NH3 < en < NO2- < CN- < CO)


A) Δ\Delta is larger in Mo(CO) 6 than in Co(NH3) 63+
B) Δ\Delta is 0 in Mo(CO) 6
C) Δ\Delta is smaller in Mo(CO) 6 than in Co(NH3) 63+
D) Δ\Delta is the same in the two complexes
E) Δ\Delta is 0 in Co(NH3) 63+
