SF₆ (molecular, not a complex): classic sp³d² around S. Evaluate each species [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ Co³⁺: d⁶; NH₃ ~ intermediate/weak-to-borderline but for Co³⁺ it gives low spin (pairing favored) → inner (d²sp³). ❌ SF₆ S uses 3s, three 3p, two 3d → sp³d² (octahedral). ✅ [CrF₆]³⁻ Cr³⁺: d³; F⁻ weak field, but d³ doesn’t need pairing; inner (n−1)d are available → d²sp³ (inner). ❌ [CoF₆]³⁻ Co³⁺: d⁶; F⁻ weak field → high spin , no pairing in (n−1)d → uses outer nd → sp³d² . ✅ [Mn(CN)₆]³⁻ ...

  Atomic Number of the Element with Lowest First Ionisation Enthalpy | JEE Chemistry 📌 Question The atomic number of the element from the following with the lowest first ionisation enthalpy is: 📚 Concept Used – First Ionisation Enthalpy Definition: First ionisation enthalpy is the energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated gaseous atom in its ground state. Periodic Trend: Across a period → IE increases (nuclear charge ↑, atomic size ↓) Down a group → IE decreases (atomic size ↑, shielding effect ↑) Lowest IE Element: The element at the bottom-left of the periodic table has the lowest IE, because it has large size and weak nuclear attraction for the outermost electron. 🖋 Solution The element with the lowest first ionisation enthalpy is Francium (Fr) , but in practical chemistry, Cesium (Cs) is often considered because Francium is radioactive and rare . Francium’s atomic number = 87 Therefore, the answer ...
