  • $[CoF_6] 3^ {3-}$
  • $[Co(NH_3 )_ 6 ] ^{3+}$
  • $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$
  • $[Cr(NH_3)_6]^{3+}$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Electronic configuration of $Co ^{2+} $ ion



$F ^{-}$ is a weak ligand. It cannot pair up electrons with $d$ -subshell and forms outer orbital octahedral complex. $\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}$ ion



$\left[ Fe ( CN )_{6}\right]^{-3}$ ion



$\left[ Cr \left( NH _{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+} $ ion



$NH _{3}$ and $CN ^{-}$ are strong ligands. So, they form inner orbital complex.

Concepts Used:

Coordination Compounds

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

Coordination entity:

A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.

Ligands:

A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
