Vedclass · Answer

(D) The paramagnetic character depends on the number of unpaired electrons $(n)$.For $H_2O$ as a weak field ligand,the number of unpaired electrons in these high-spin octahedral complexes are:$Cr^{2+} (d^4): t_{2g}^3 e_g^1, n = 4$$Mn^{2+} (d^5): t_{2g}^3 e_g^2, n = 5$$Fe^{2+} (d^6): t_{2g}^4 e_g^2, n = 4$$Co^{2+} (d^7): t_{2g}^5 e_g^2, n = 3$Since $[Co(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$ has the minimum number of unpaired electrons $(n = 3)$,it exhibits the minimum paramagnetic character.

The electronic configurations of $Cr^{2+}$,$Mn^{2+}$,$Fe^{2+}$,and $Co^{2+}$ ions are $d^4$,$d^5$,$d^6$,and $d^7$ respectively. Which of the following complexes has the minimum paramagnetic character?
