Statement \(\mathbf{1}\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_5 \mathrm{NO}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4\) is paramagnetic.
Statement 2 The \(\mathrm{Fe}\) in \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_5 \mathrm{NO}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4\) has three unpaired electrons.

  1. A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  2. B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
  3. C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
  4. D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxidation number of \(\mathrm{Fe}\) in the complex, \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_5 \mathrm{NO}\right] \mathrm{SO}_4\) is \(+1\) [ \(\mathrm{NO}\) has \(+1\) charge ]
\(
\mathrm{Fe}^{+}=[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 d^6 4 s^1
\)
\(\mathrm{NO}^{+}\)causes pairing of 4 s electron inside .
Thus, the configuration is \(3 d^7\) and number of unpaired electrons \(=3\)
