Consider the complex ion [CO(NH3)6]3+. Which response contains all of the following statements that are true, and no false statements?

I. It is paramagnetic.
II. It is a high spin complex.
III. It is a low spin complex.
IV. It has octahedral geometry.
V. It does not exist as geometric isomers.

a. III, IV, and V
b. II, IV, and V
c. land II
d. land IV
e. III and IV

III, IV, and V

Explanation:

The complex [CO(NH3)6]3+ is a diamagnetic complex. It a low spin d^6 complex. Most d^6 complexes are low spin due to the higher crystal field stabilization energy of the low spin over the high spin arrangement.

d^6 metal complexes are known to be octahedral (a coordination number of 6 leads to octahedral geometry). Octahedral complexes does not have geometric isomers rather, may exist as the fac or her stereo isomers.

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
