Q12 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (08 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

The correct order of spin only magnetic moments for the following complex ions is

  • A
    Fe(CN)63-<CoF63-<MnBr42-<Mn(CN)63-
  • B
    CoF63-<MnBr42-<Fe(CN)63-<Mn(CN)63-
  • Correct answer
    C
    Fe(CN)63-<Mn(CN)63-<CoF63-<MnBr42-
  • D
    MnBr42-<CoF63-<Fe(CN)63-<Mn(CN)63-

Solution

MnBr42- is a tetrahedral complex. The electronic configuration Mn2+ise2t23 and it has 5 unpaired electrons.

∴μ=5(5+2)=35 B. M.

CoF63- is an octahedral complex and it is high spin complex. The electronic configuration of Co3+ is  t2g4eg2, it has 4 unpaired electrons

∴μ=4(4+2)=24 B.M. 

Mn(CN)63- is an octahedral complex and it is low spin complex. The electronic configuration Mn3+ is t2g4eg0 it has two unpaired electrons

∴μ=2(2+2)=8 B.M 

[Fe(CN)6]3- is an octahedral complex and it is low spin complex. The electronic configuration of Fe3+ is t2g5eg0 and it has one unpaired electron.

∴μ=1(1+2)=23 B.M 

Hence the correct answer is option 3

 

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
