Vedclass · Answer

(C) The oxidation state of $Mn$ in $[Mn(CN)_6]^{2-}$ is $+4$. The electronic configuration of $Mn^{4+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^3$.Since $CN^-$ is a strong field ligand,the $3d$ electrons are arranged as follows: $t_{2g}^3 e_g^0$. The number of unpaired electrons $(n)$ is $1$.The spin-only magnetic moment is $\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} = \sqrt{1(1+2)} = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.73 \ BM$.The oxidation state of $Mn$ in $[MnBr_4]^{2-}$ is $+2$. The electronic configuration of $Mn^{2+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^5$.Since $Br^-$ is a weak field ligand,no pairing occurs. The number of unpaired electrons $(n)$ is $5$.The spin-only magnetic moment is $\mu = \sqrt{5(5+2)} = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.92 \ BM$.Thus,the values are $1.73 \ BM$ and $5.92 \ BM$.

The spin-only magnetic moments of $[Mn(CN)_6]^{2-}$ and $[MnBr_4]^{2-}$ in Bohr magnetons,respectively are
