JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 12th January Evening Slot - No. 1)

The magnetic moment of an octahedral homoleptic Mn(II) complex is 5.9 BM. The suitable ligand for this complex is -
CN$$-$$
ethylenediamine
NCS–
CO

Explanation

Given, $$\mu $$ = 5.9 BM

$$ \therefore $$ n = number of unpaired electron = 5

JEE Main 2019 (Online) 12th January Evening Slot Chemistry - Coordination Compounds Question 231 English Explanation
For Mn+2 with 5 unpaired electronic configuration only possible when ligand is weak field ligand.

Here weak field ligand is NCS$$-$$.
