The pair in which both the species have same magnetic moment (spin only) is

  1. A \(\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_4\right]^{2-},\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2-}\)
  2. B \(\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+},\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}\)
  3. C \(\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+},\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}\)
  4. D \(\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+},\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_4\right]^{2-}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+},\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{Co}^{2+}\left(\mathrm{d}^7\right):\) Tetrahedral structure of \(\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_4\right]^{2-}\) Therefore, electronic configuration after crystal field splitting is \(\mathrm{e}^4 \mathrm{t}_2^3\) (high spin) \(\therefore \quad\) unpaired electron…
