In the formation of coordination complexes, if the inner \(d\) orbital \((n-1) d\) is used in hybridisation, the complex, is called an inner orbital or low spin or spin paired complex. And if it uses outer \(d\) orbital ( \(n d\) ) in hybridisation (like \(s p^3 d^2\) ), it is called outer orbital or high spin or spin free complex. The degeneracy of the \(d\) orbitals has been removed due to ligand electron-metal electron repulsions in the complex. This splitting of the degenerate levels due to the presence of ligands in a definite geometry is termed as crystal field splitting. For coordination complexes, the magnetic moment is determined by the number of unpaired electrons and is calculated by using the 'spin-only' formula, \(\mu=\sqrt{n(n+2)}\) where \(n\) is the number of unpaired electrons and \(\mu\) is the magnetic moment in units of Bohr magneton (BM). The coordination compounds are of great importance. These compounds are widely present in the mineral, plant and animal worlds and are known to play many important functions in the area of analytical chemistry, metallurgy, biological systems, industry and medicine.
Which of the following complex has the highest magnetic moment?
- A \(\left[ Mn ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\)
- B \(\left[ FeF _6\right]^{3-}\)
- C \(\left[ CoF _6\right]^{3-}\)
- D \(\left[ MnCl _6\right]^{3-}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\left[ FeF _6\right]^{3-}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
For \(\left[ Mn ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\): \(\text{Mn}^{3+}\) (\(d^4\)), \(\text{CN}^-\) (SFL) \(\Rightarrow\) low spin. \(n=2\). For \(\left[ FeF _6\right]^{3-}\): \(\text{Fe}^{3+}\) (\(d^5\)), \(\text{F}^-\) (WFL) \(\Rightarrow\) high spin. \(n=5\). For…

The term vitamin was coined from the word vital +amine since the earlier identified compounds had amino groups. Later work showed that most of them didn't contain amino groups, so the letter "e" was dropped and ther term vitamin is used these days.
Vitamins are classified into two groups depending upon their solubility in water or fat. Fat soluble vitamins are soluble in fat and oils but insoluble in water. They are stored in liver and adipose (fat storing) tissues. Water-soluble vitamins are soluble in water. They must be supplied regularly in the diet as they are readily excreated in urine.
