Complexes $\left[\mathrm{CoX}_6\right]^{3-},\left[\mathrm{CoY}_6\right]^{3+}$ and $\left[\mathrm{CoZ}_6\right]^{3-}$ absorb at 700,475 and 310 nm , respectively. The ligands $\mathrm{X}, \mathrm{Y}$ and Z most likely are, respectively,

  • Correct answer
    A
    $\mathrm{F}^{-}, \mathrm{NH}_3, \mathrm{CN}^{-}$
  • B
    $\mathrm{CN}^{-}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{Cl}^{-}$
  • C
    $\mathrm{Br}^{-}, \mathrm{NH}_3, \mathrm{NCS}^{-}$
  • D
    $\mathrm{I}^{-}, \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{OH}^{-}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
