JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 4. d and f- block elements

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\). Assertion \(A:\) The spin only magnetic moment value for \(\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\) is \(1.74 BM\), whereas for \(\left[ Fe \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{3+}\) is \(5.92\,BM\). Reason \(R :\) In both complexes, \(Fe\) is present in +3 oxidation state. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\)
  2. B \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
  3. C \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
  4. D Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is NOT the correct explanation of \(A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Unpaired electron \(=1\) \(\mu=\sqrt{ n ( n +2)}=\sqrt{1 \times 3}=1.74 \text { B.M. }\) \(\left[ Fe \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{3+}\) No pairing because \(H _2 O\) is WFL Number of unpaired electrons \(=5, \mu=5.92\,BM\) Assertion is true, Reason is true but not correct…
