The observed magnetic moment of the complex \(\left[ Mn (\underline{ NCS })_6\right]^{ x- }\) is \(6.06\,BM\). The numerical value of \(x\) is \(.......\).

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(6\)
  3. C \(8\)
  4. D \(10\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\left[ Mn ( NCS )_6\right]^{x-}\) Number of unpaired electron \(=5\) So, \(Mn\) must be in \(+2\) oxidation state \(\left( Mn ^{+2}\right)\) \(\Rightarrow 2+(-6)=-x\) \(\Rightarrow-4=-x\) \(\Rightarrow x=4\)
