Which one of the following species responds to an external magnetic field?

  1. A \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}\)
  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CO})_{4}\right]\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{3-}\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Ni}(\mathrm{CN})_{4}\right]^{2-}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1.\) \(\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}\) \(\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}:[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{5}\) Hybridisation : \(\mathrm{sp}^{3} \mathrm{~d}^{2}\) Magnetic nature : Paramagnetic (so this complex response to external magnetic field) \(2.\)…
