Q28 / 90 · JEE Main 2016 (03 Apr) · Chemistry

The pair having the same magnetic moment is:

At. No. :Cr=24, Mn=25, Fe=26, Co=27

  • A
    Mn H2O62+ and CrH2O62+
  • B
    CoCl42- and FeH2O62+
  • C
    CrH2O62+ and CoCl42-
  • Correct answer
    D
    CrH2O62+ and FeH2O62+

Solution

The compounds having the same number of unpaired electrons will have same magnetic moment.

Magnetic moment μ = nn+2

where n is the number of unpaired electrons

[ Cr ( H 2 O ) 6 ] +2

C r 2+ .(3 d 4 )  with weak field ligand so unpaired electrons are 4Figure

So, μ= 44+2 = 24

F e +2 ( 3 d 6 ) Weak field ligand so unpaired electrons are 4Figure

μ = 44+2 = 24

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