The hybridization and magnetic behaviour of cobalt ion in [Co(NH$$_3$$)$$_6$$]$$^{3+}$$ complex, respectively is
For the complex Hexaamminecobalt(III) complex:
Since $$NH_3$$ acts as a strong field ligand with $$Co^{+3}$$ , the $$3d$$ electrons pair up in the lower energy orbitals.
So the arrangement becomes:
Therefore:
So the final answer is:
$$d^{2}sp^{3}$$ hybridisation and diamagnetic nature.
