Q5.24(ii):
Write down the IUPAC name for each of the following complexes and indicate the oxidation state, electronic configuration and coordination number. Also give stereochemistry and magnetic moment of the complex:
\([Co(NH_{3})_{5}Cl]Cl_{2}\)
Solution :
Step 1: Nomenclature and Oxidation State
The complex is $[Co(NH_{3})_{5}Cl]Cl_{2}$. To determine the oxidation state of the central metal atom, Cobalt ($Co$), we account for the charges of the ligands and counter-ions:
- Ligands: $NH_{3}$ (ammine) is neutral ($0$), $Cl^{-}$ (chloro) is $-1$.
- Counter-ions: $2 Cl^{-}$ outside the coordination sphere contribute $-2$.
- Let $x$ be the oxidation state of $Co$: $x + 5(0) + 1(-1) + 2(-1) = 0 \implies x - 3 = 0 \implies x = +3$.
The IUPAC name is pentaamminechloridocobalt(III) chloride.
Step 2: Coordination Number and Electronic Configuration
The coordination number is determined by the total number of donor atoms attached to the central metal atom. Here, $5$ $NH_{3}$ molecules (monodentate) and $1$ $Cl^{-}$ ion (monodentate) are attached.
Coordination Number = $5 + 1 = 6$.
For $Co^{3+}$ ($Z=27$):
- Neutral $Co$: $[Ar] 3d^{7} 4s^{2}$
- $Co^{3+}$: $[Ar] 3d^{6} 4s^{0}$
- Electronic Configuration: $t_{2g}^{6} e_{g}^{0}$ (Due to the presence of ligands, the $d$-orbitals split in an octahedral field).
Step 3: Stereochemistry and Magnetic Moment
With a coordination number of $6$, the geometry is octahedral. $NH_{3}$ and $Cl^{-}$ are strong/moderate field ligands causing pairing of electrons in the $d$-orbitals [Per Crystal Field Theory].
Since the $d^{6}$ configuration results in all electrons being paired in the $t_{2g}$ set ($t_{2g}^{6} e_{g}^{0}$), the complex is diamagnetic.
- Number of unpaired electrons ($n$) = $0$.
- Magnetic moment ($\mu$) = $\sqrt{n(n+2)} B.M. = \sqrt{0(0+2)} = 0 \text{ B.M.}$
Step 4: Visual Representation of Geometry
| Property | Value/Description |
|---|---|
| IUPAC Name | pentaamminechloridocobalt(III) chloride |
| Oxidation State | +3 |
| Coordination Number | 6 |
| Geometry | Octahedral |
| Magnetic Moment | 0 B.M. (Diamagnetic) |
Final Solution: The IUPAC name is pentaamminechloridocobalt(III) chloride. The Cobalt ion is in a +3 oxidation state with a $d^{6}$ electronic configuration. The complex is octahedral, diamagnetic, and possesses a magnetic moment of 0 B.M.

I have experience teaching Mathematics to Class 12 students, focusing on building strong conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. I teach key topics such as Calculus (limits, derivatives, and integrals), Matrices, Determinants, Probability, and Vectors. My teaching approach includes explaining concepts step-by-step, solving examples on the board, and giving practice questions similar to board exam patterns. I regularly conduct revision tests, doubt-clearing sessions, and discuss previous years’ question papers to help students prepare effectively for board examinations. I encourage students to understand the logic behind formulas rather than memorizing them. My goal is to make mathematics easier, improve students’ confidence, and help them achieve good results in Class 12 board exams.
