Q.

The number of complexes from the following with no electrons in the t2 orbital is _______ .

TiCl4,[MnO4]-,[FeO4]2-,[FeCl4]-,[CoCl4]2-                      [2024]

1 1  
2 4  
3 2  
4 3  

Ans.

(4)

Compound Electronic configuration
of central atom without
tetrahedral splitting
Electronic configuration
of central atom after
tetrahedral splitting
TiCl4 Tiü+=[Ar]183d4s e0t20
MnO4- Mn7+=[Ar]183d04s0 e0t20
FeO42- Fe6+=[Ar]183d24s0 e2t20
FeCl4- Fe2+=[Ar]183d64s0 e3t23
CoCl42- Co2+=[Ar]183d74s0 e4t23

 

Three complexes donot have electron in t2 orbitals
