Q16 / 90 · KVPY 2013 (SB/SX) · Chemistry
The spin-only magnetic moments of $\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}$ and $\left[\mathrm{FeF}_{6}\right]^{3-\text { in }} \mathrm{BM}$ are, respectively,
- A$1.73$ and $1.73$
- B$5.92$ and $1.73$
- Correct answerC$1.73$ and $5.92$
- D$5.92$ and $5.92$
Solution
$$
\begin{array}{l}
\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}=3 \mathrm{~d}^{5} \\
\end{array}
$$

$\odot$ ${F}$ is $W F L$ so $\mu=5.92$ While $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ is SFL \& pairing of electrons takes place so $\mu=1.73$

$\odot$ ${F}$ is $W F L$ so $\mu=5.92$ While $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ is SFL \& pairing of electrons takes place so $\mu=1.73$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
