Q.

The d-electronic configuration of [CoCl4]2- in a tetrahedral crystal field is emt2n. Sum of ''m'' and ''number of unpaired electrons'' is __________ .          [2023]


Ans.

(7)

E.C. of Co2+=3d74s0,

 Cl- is a weak field ligand, hence pairing does not occur.

From CFSE in Td complex,

E.C.=e4t23

From question, m=4,n=3

 m+n=7
