JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 1st September Evening Shift - No. 5)

The Crystal Field Stabilization Energy (CFSE) and magnetic moment (spin-only) of an octahedral aqua complex of a metal ion (Mz+) are $$-$$0.8 $$\Delta$$0 and 3.87 BM, respectively. Identify (Mz+) :
V3+
Cr3+
Mn4+
Co2+

Explanation

Co2+ = [Ar] 3d74so

in [Co(H2O)6]2+, H2O will behave as weak field ligand

Co2+ = t2g5 , eg2

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 1st September Evening Shift Chemistry - Coordination Compounds Question 146 English Explanation
CFSE = (–0.4 × 5 + 2 × 0.6) Δ0 = –0.8 Δ0

Magnetic moment (spin only) can be calculated as :

$$\mu = \sqrt {n\left( {n + 2} \right)} $$

where, $$\mu $$ = spin only magnetic moment and

n = number of unpaired electrons = 3

= $$\sqrt {3\left( {3 + 2} \right)} = \sqrt {15} $$ = 3.87 BM
