The complex ion[Co(NH3​)6​]+2is readily oxidized to[Co(NH3​)6​]+3. This is because although the ligands are the same in both the coordination complexes. But ln[Co(NH3​)o​]+2theCo+2has3d74soand ln[Co(NH3​)6​]+3theCo+3has3d64so. So, gain of electron i.e. oxidation takes place readily from[Co(NH3​)6​]2+to[Co(NH3​)6​]+3.
