JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 30th June Morning Shift - No. 20)

Spin only magnetic moment ($$\mu$$s) of $${K_3}[Fe{(CN)_6}]$$ is ____________ B.M.

(Nearest integer)

Answer
2

Explanation

$\mathrm{K}_{3}\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]$

$\mathrm{CN}^{-}$ have $-1$ oxidation State.

Let oxidation state of $\mathrm{Fe}$ in the complex is $x$.

So, $x-6=-3 \Rightarrow x=+3$

Now, $\mathrm{CN}^{-}$ion is a strong field ligand.

For $Fe^{3+}: -3d^54s^0$ JEE Main 2022 (Online) 30th June Morning Shift Chemistry - Coordination Compounds Question 127 English Explanation

Unpaired electron $=1$

$\mu_{\mathrm{B}}=\sqrt{n(n+2)}=\sqrt{1 \times(1+2)}=1.7$

$\mu_{\mathrm{B}}=2$ B.M
