Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

S1 :

chelate complex, diamagnetic and has d2sp3 hybridisation.

[Co(ox)3]3 – 3d6

S2 : NO2– is strong field ligand and thus it is inner orbital complex and paramagnetic with one unpaired electron present in higher 4d-orbital

[Co(NO2)6]4– 3d7

S3 : 5d8 configuration; thus diamagnetic and dsp2 hybridisation (5d8 has higher CFSE so that Δ o > p)
