The spin only magnetic moment of \(\left[\mathrm{MnBr}_4\right]^{\mathrm{x}-}\) is \(5.9 \mathrm{BM}\). The geometry of the complex and \(\mathrm{x}\) respectively are

  1. A tetrahedral, 1
  2. B square planar, 1
  3. C square planar, 2
  4. D tetrahedral, 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) tetrahedral, 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mu_{\mathrm{s}}=\sqrt{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)}=5.9\) B. M. \(\Rightarrow \mu^2=\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)=34.81 \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}=5\) Thus, \(\mathrm{Mn}\) will have five unpaired electrons so \(\mathrm{Mn}\) will be in +2 state with \(\mathrm{Br}^{-}\)being weak- field…
