JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 25th February Evening Shift - No. 5)

In which of the following order the given complex ions are arranged correctly with respect to their decreasing spin only magnetic moment?

(i) [FeF6]3$$-$$

(ii) [Co(NH3)6]3+

(iii) [NiCl4]2$$-$$

(iv) [Cu(NH3)4]2+
(iii) > (iv) > (ii) > (i)
(ii) > (iii) > (i) > (iv)
(i) > (iii) > (iv) > (ii)
(ii) > (i) > (iii) > (iv)

Explanation

Spin only magnetic moment, $$\mu = \sqrt {n(n + 2)} BM$$

where, n = number of unpaired electrons and $$\mu$$ $$\propto$$ n.

(i) $${[Fe{F_6}]^{3 - }} \Rightarrow F{e^{3 + }} = (3{d^5}) , {F^ - }$$ (weak field ligand).

Thus, pairing of electron does not take place.

(ii) $${[Co{(N{H_3})_6}]^{3 + }} \Rightarrow C{o^{3 + }} = (3{d^6}), N{H_3}$$ (strong field ligand).

Thus, pairing of electron takes place.

(iii) $${[NiC{l_4}]^{2 - }} \Rightarrow N{i^{2 + }} = (3{d^8}), C{l^ - }$$ (weak field ligand).

Thus, pairing of electron takes place.

(iv) $${[Cu{(N{H_3})_4}]^{2 + }} \Rightarrow C{u^{2 + }}(3{d^9}), N{H_3}$$ (strong field ligand).

Thus, pairing of electron takes place.

So, the decreasing order of $$\mu$$ is

$$\mathop {{\mu _i}}\limits_{(n = 5)} > \mathop {{\mu _{iii}}}\limits_{(n = 2)} > \mathop {{\mu _{iv}}}\limits_{(n = 1)} > \mathop {{\mu _{ii}}}\limits_{(n = 0)} $$
