Find out the number of unpaired electrons in d-subshell for \({\left[\mathrm{Co}{\left({\mathrm{H}}_{2}\mathrm{O}\right)}_{6}\right]}^{3+}\)
0
The first three electrons fill the
\({t}_{2g}\) 𝑡2𝑔Sv6Kpe[] orbitals singly.Sv6Kpe[]Sv6Kpe[]
The next three electrons pair up with the electrons already in the
\({t}_{2g}\) 𝑡2𝑔Sv6Kpe[] orbitals.
This results in all six electrons occupying the
Sv6Kpe[] orbitals, and the
\({e}_{g}\) 𝑒𝑔Sv6Kpe[] orbitals remain empty.Sv6Kpe[]
