180. Discuss the nature of bonding in the following coordination entities on the basis of valence bond theory.
[CoF₆]^3–

[CoF₆]^3– oxidation state of Co is +3

Fluorine ion is a weak ligand. It cannot cause the pairing of the 3d electrons. As a result, the Co³⁺ ion will undergo sp³d² hybridzation.

Hence, the geometry of the complex is octahedral and paramagnetic.
