Which complex compound is most stable?

A

[Co(NH3)4(H2O)Br](NO3)2[Co(NH_3)_4(H_2O)Br](NO_3)_2

B

[Co(NH3)3(NO3)3][Co(NH_3)_3(NO_3)_3]

C

[CoCl2(en)2]NO3[CoCl_2(en)_2]NO_3

D

[Co(NH3)6]2(SO4)3[Co(NH_3)_6]_2(SO_4)_3

Step-by-Step Solution

The stability of coordination complexes is significantly enhanced by the chelate effect. The complex [CoCl2(en)2]NO3[CoCl_2(en)_2]NO_3 contains ethylenediamine (en), which is a bidentate ligand forming stable five-membered chelate rings with the central metal ion, making it more stable than the other complexes containing only monodentate ligands.
