Match the metal ions given in Column I with the spin magnetic moments of the ions given in Column II and assign the correct code :
- (a)-(iv), (b)-(v), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)
- (a)-(i), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iii), (d)-(iv)
- (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
- (a)-(iii), (b)-(v), (c)-(i), (d)-(ii)
Answer
(1) (a)-(iv), (b)-(v), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)
Solution
Spin-only magnetic moment: = n(n+2) B.M. (n = number of unpaired electrons).
(a) Co3+: 3d6 ⇒ n = 4 ⇒ = 24 B.M. ⇒ (iv)
(b) Cr3+: 3d3 ⇒ n = 3 ⇒ = 15 B.M. ⇒ (v)
(c) Fe3+: 3d5 ⇒ n = 5 ⇒ = 35 B.M. ⇒ (ii)
(d) Ni2+: 3d8 ⇒ n = 2 ⇒ = 8 B.M. ⇒ (i)
(a)-(iv), (b)-(v), (c)-(ii), (d)-(i)
Answer: (1)
