What is the type of magnetic behavior and geometry respectively in Cuproammonium sulphate (Atomic no. of \(\mathrm{Cu}=29\) )?

  1. A Paramagnetic and tetrahedral
  2. B Diamagnetic and pyramidal
  3. C Diamagnetic and tetrahedral
  4. D Paramagnetic and square planar
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Paramagnetic and square planar

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Cuproammonium sulphate \(-\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}\right] \mathrm{SO}_{4} . \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) \(\left[\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{4}\right]^{2+} \rightarrow\) Oxidation state of \(\mathrm{Cu}=+2\)


\(\mathrm{dsp}^{2}\) - Square planar, Paramagnetic - One unpaired electron.
