JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 5. Co-ordination chemistry

Arrange the following coordination compounds in the increasing order of magnetic moments. (Atomic numbers: \(Mn =25 ; Fe =26\) ) \((A)\) \(\left[ FeF _{6}\right]^{3-}\) \((B)\) \(\left[ Fe ( CN )_{6}\right]^{3-}\) \((C)\) \(\left[ MnCl _{6}\right]^{3-}\) (high spin) \((D)\) \(\left[ Mn ( CN )_{6}\right]^{3-}\)

  1. A \(A \,<\, B\, <\, D \,< \,C\)
  2. B \(B \,<\, D \,< \,C\, <\, A\)
  3. C \(A \,<\, C\, <\, D\, < \,B\)
  4. D \(B \,< \,D\, < \,A \,<\, C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(B \,<\, D \,< \,C\, <\, A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\((A)\) \(\left[ FeF _{6}\right]^{3-}\) \(Fe ^{+3} \rightarrow 3 d ^{5} 4 s ^{0}\) \(n =5\) \((B)\) \(\left[ Fe ( CN )_{6}\right]^{3-}\) \(Fe ^{+3} \rightarrow 3 d ^{5} 4 s ^{0}\) \(n =1\) \((C)\) \(\left[ MnCl _{6}\right]^{3-}\) \(Mn ^{+3} \rightarrow 3 d ^{4} 4 s ^{0}\)…
