Q26 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (28 Jun Shift 2) · Chemistry

FeCN64-

FeCN63-

TiCN63-

NiCN42-

CoCN63-

Among the given complexes, number of paramagnetic complexes is

Correct answer: 2

Solution

Complexes in which central atom has unpaired electrons is said to be paramagnetic in nature and where unpaired electrons are not present are diamagnetic in nature.

FeCN63- ,   Fe+3  3d5 → t2g2,2  eg1, paramagnetic (one unpaired electron)

FeCN64-,  Fe+2 3d6→t2g6eg0 ,diamagnetic 

TiCN63-,  Ti+3(3d1)→t2g1 , Paramagnetic (1 unpaired electron)

NiCN42-, Ni+2(3d8)→ Diamagnetic

CoCN63-,   Co+3(3d6)→t2g6, diamagnetic

Hence, the correct answer is 2.
