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

Consider the following metal complexes. \({\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)\right]^{3+}}\) \({\left[ CoCl \left( NH _{3}\right)_{5}\right]^{2+}}\) \({\left[ Co ( CN )_{6}\right]^{3-}}\) \({\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{5}\left( H _{2} O \right)\right]^{3+}}\) The spin-only magnetic moment value of the complex that absorbs light with shortest wavelength is \(B.M.\) (Nearest integer)

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta_{0} \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\) Here, \(CN\) being SFL will have maximum \(CFSE\) So, \(\left[ Co ( CN )_{6}\right]^{3-}\) will be \(d ^{2} sp ^{3}, \mu=0\)
