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

The magnetic moment is measured in Bohr Magneton (BM). Spin only magnetic moment of \(Fe\) in \(\left[ Fe \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{3+}\) and \(\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\) complexes respectively is:

  1. A \(6.92\,B.M.\) in both
  2. B \(4.89\,B.M.\) and \(6.92\,B.M.\)
  3. C \(3.87\,B.M.\) and \(1.732\,B.M.\)
  4. D \(5.92\,B.M.\) and \(1.732\,B.M\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(5.92\,B.M.\) and \(1.732\,B.M\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[ Fe \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{3+}\) \(\therefore \text { Unpaired } e ^{-}=5\) \(\mu=\sqrt{ n ( n +2)}\) \(=\sqrt{5(5+2)}\) \(\mu=\sqrt{35}=5.92 \text { B.M. }\) \({\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]^{-3}}\) Pairing occur due to strong field ligand \(CN ^{-}\)…
