Match the LIST-I with LIST-II Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

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

Answer

(4) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Solution

Spin-only formula: = n(n+2) BM; H2O is a weak-field ligand, so all are high spin.

A. Cr2+: 3d4, n = 4 ⇒ = 24 = 4.90 BM (III)

B. Co2+: 3d7, n = 3 ⇒ = 15 = 3.87 BM (I)

C. Cu2+: 3d9, n = 1 ⇒ = 3 = 1.73 BM (IV)

D. Mn2+: 3d5, n = 5 ⇒ = 35 = 5.92 BM (II)

∴ A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II

Answer: (4)
