Complex compounds exist in following geometries - tetrahedral, square planar, octahedral etc.
Spectrochemical series refers to the arrangement of ligands with respect to crystal field splitting they cause in the d-orbitals of a metal ion. The ligand that causes larger splitting pattern is referred to as stronger ligand.
The ligands are arranged in increasing order of crystal field splitting they produce.
The ligand that causes larger crystal field splitting is strong ligand and the ligand that causes smaller splitting is termed as weak ligand.
Depending upon magnetic property Complexes are of two types - low spin complex and high spin complex. A complex is said to be low-spin if it doesn't have unpaired electrons whereas in high spin complex there will be presence of unpaired electrons. Stronger ligands pair the electrons and produce diamagnetic, low-spin complexes. Weaker ligands are incapable of pairing the electrons and form paramagnetic, high-spin complexes.
Almost all the Co-ordination compounds are colored compounds. Presence of unpaired electrons in a complex compound makes it colored as the unpaired electrons undergo transition from lower energy level to higher energy level. The color of the complex observed is complementary to the color absorbed in the wavelength region.

- (a) Geometry of complex ion
- (b) Color absorption in whether red or blue
- (c) Whether high spin or low spin complex
Concept Introduction:
Complex compounds are primarily formed by transition elements which are d-block elements. A co-ordination compound is known as a complex compound is made of metal atom/ion and ligand(s). Ligands are considered as Lewis bases and the central metal atom is Lewis acid. Ligands donate a pair of electron to metal ion and establishes bonding with metal ion which is known as co-ordinate bond and hence these compounds are named as co-ordination compounds. The ligands represented inside the square brackets.

(c)

Answer to Problem 22.82QP
The complex is high spin complex.
Explanation of Solution
Referring to spectrochemical series fluoro ligand is a weak ligand. Hence, it forms high spin complex. Therefore
