Q11 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (26 Jul Shift 2) · Chemistry

The metal complex that is diamagnetic is (Atomic number : Fe,26;Cu,29)

  • Correct answer
    A
    K3CuCN4
  • B
    K2CuCN4
  • C
    K3FeCN4
  • D
    K4FeCl6

Solution

K3CuCN4:

CuCN4-3

Oxidation number of of copper is Cu+1

Electronic configuration of Cu+1=Ar3 d104s0

Due to the absence of unpaired electrons, their spin only magnetic moment is zero, they are diamagnetic in nature

K2CuCN4:

CuCN42-, Cu2+=Ar3d9 one unpaired electron is present.Hence, paramagnetic in nature.

K4FeCl6:

FeCl6-4, Fe+2: Ar 3d6 4s0,one unpaired electron.Hence, paramagnetic in nature.

 

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