An octahedral complex of \[C{{o}^{3+}}\] is diamagnetic. The hybridisation involved in the formation of the complex is:

A) \[s{{p}^{3}}{{d}^{2}}\]                   

B) \[ds{{p}^{2}}\]

C) \[{{d}^{2}}s{{p}^{3}}\]                   

D) \[s{{p}^{3}}d\]

Correct Answer: C

Solution :

[c] \[[Co]{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}{{]}^{3+}}\] Octahedral and Diamagnetic
