  2. B \([CoCl_4]^{2-}\) and \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\)
  3. C \([Cr(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\) and \([CoCl_4]^{2-}\)
  4. D \([Cr(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\) and \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \([Cr(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\) and \([Fe(H_2O)_6]^{2+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

magnetic moment \(\mu=\sqrt{n(n+2)}\) where \(n\) is the number of unpaired electrons. \(C r^{2+}\) and \(F e^{2+}\) has same number of unpaired electrons \(C r^{2+} \Rightarrow 3 d^{4}\) four unpaired electrons \(F e^{2+} \Rightarrow 3 d^{6}\) four unpaired electrons
