Q.

Which one of the following complexes will have Δ0=0 and μ=5.96 B.M.              [2025]
 

1 [Fe(CN)6]4-  
2 [Co(NH3)6]3+  
3 [FeF6]4-  
4 [Mn(SCN)6]4-  

Ans.

(4)

μ=n(n+2)BM

5.96=n(n+2)

n=5

Complex Electronic configuration of central atom without splitting Electronic configuration of central atom after octahedral splitting Crystal field splitting energy Number of unpaired electrons
[Fe(CN)6]4- Fe2+=[Ar]183d6 t2g6eg0 6×(-0.4Δ0)+2P=-2.4Δ0+2P 0
[Co(NH3)6]3+ Co3+=[Ar]183d6 t2g6eg0 6×(-0.4Δ0)+2P=-2.4Δ0+2P 0
[FeF6]4- Fe2+=[Ar]183d6 t2g4eg2 4×(-0.4Δ0)+2×(0.6Δ0)=-0.4Δ0 4
[Mn(SCN)6]4- Mn2+=[Ar]183d5 t2g3eg2 3×(-0.4Δ0)+2×(0.6Δ0)= 0 5
