According to the valence bond theory, the metal atom or ion under the influence of ligands can use its (n-1)d, ns, np, nd orbitals for hybridisation to yield a set of equivalent orbitals of definite geometry. These hybridised orbitals are allowed to overlap with ligand orbitals that can donate electron pairs for bonding. It is usually possible to predict the geometry of a complex from the knowledge of its magnetic behaviour on the basis of the valence bond theory. Consider the formation of [Co(NH3)5Cl] Cl2 and answer the following question:
