Chemistry Question from JEE Main 2026 · 24 January, Shift 1

Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Hybridisation, shape and spin only magnetic moment of K3[Co(CO3)3]\mathrm{K_3[Co(CO_3)_3]} is sp3d2sp^3d^2, octahedral and 4.94.9 BM respectively.

Statement II: Geometry, hybridisation and spin only magnetic moment values (BM) of the ions [Ni(CN)4]2\mathrm{[Ni(CN)_4]^{2-}}, [MnBr4]2\mathrm{[MnBr_4]^{2-}} and [CoF6]3\mathrm{[CoF_6]^{3-}} respectively are square planar, tetrahedral, octahedral; dsp2dsp^2, sp3sp^3, sp3d2sp^3d^2 and 00, 5.95.9, 4.94.9.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A

    Statement I is false but Statement II is true

  • B

    Statement I is true but Statement II is false

  • C
