Given below are two statements: In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Answer
(4) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution
Statement I:
[CoF6]3-: Co3+, 3d6, weak field F- 4 unpaired e⁻, paramagnetic
[TiF6]3-: Ti3+, 3d1 1 unpaired e⁻, paramagnetic
V2O5: V5+, 3d0 diamagnetic
[Fe(CN)6]3-: Fe3+, 3d5, strong field CN- t2g5, 1 unpaired e⁻, paramagnetic
Number of paramagnetic species = 3. Statement I is true.
Statement II: number of unpaired electrons
K4[Fe(CN)6]: Fe2+, 3d6, strong field t2g6, 0
K3[Fe(CN)6]: Fe3+, 3d5, strong field 1
[Fe(H2O)6]SO4 H2O: Fe2+, 3d6, weak field H2O 4
[Fe(H2O)6]Cl3: Fe3+, 3d5, weak field H2O 5
0 < 1 < 4 < 5, the order given is correct. Statement II is true.
Answer: (4)
