Q.

The crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE) and magnetic moment (spin-only) of an octahedral aqua complex of metal ion (MZ+) are -0.8Δo and 3.87 BM respectively identify (MZ+).

1 Ti2+  
2 Co2+  
3 Cr3+  
4 Mn2+  

Ans.

(2)

H2O (W.F.L) no force pairing hence C.F splitting E = C.F stabilisation energy

Co+2=3d7    t2g5 eg2

C.F.S.E=(-0.4×5+2×0.6)Δ0=-0.8Δ0

μ=3(3+2)=3.87 BM
