Q.

Match List I with List II                                                              [2024]

  LIST I (Complex ion)   LIST II (Electronic Configuration)
A. [Cr(H2O)6]3+ I. t2g2eg0
B. [Fe(H2O)6]3+ II. t2g3eg0
C. [Ni(H2O)6]2+ III. t2g3eg2
D. [V(H2O)6]3+ IV. t2g6eg2

 

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

1 A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II    
2 A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I   
3 A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I   
4 A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III    

Ans.

(2)

(A) [Cr(H2O)6]3+

Oxidation number of Cr = +3

Cr3+=[Ar]3d318 

d3 complexes are always split into t2g3,eg0 configuration irrespective of the field strength of the ligand.

(B) [Fe(HO)6]3+

The oxidation number of Fe = +3

Fe3+=[Ar]3d518 

As H2O is a weak field ligand, splitting energy (Δ) is less than pairing energy (P). E.C=t2g3eg2

(C) [Ni(H2O)6]2+

Oxidation number of Ni = +2

Ni2+=[Ar]3d818  

Irrespective of the ligand d8 complexes always split into t2g6,eg2

(D)  [V(H2O)6]3+

Oxidation number of V = +3

V3+=[Ar]3d218 

d2 complexes are always split into t2g2,eg0 configuration irrespective of field strength of the ligand.
