LIST II
Number of unpaired electrons
A. $$\left[\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{3-}$$ I. 0
B. $$\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$$ II. 3
C. $$\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}$$ III. 2
D. $$\left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$$ IV. 4

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

Explanation

For option (A)

$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Cr}^{+3}: 3 \mathrm{~d}^3 \\\\ & \mathrm{CN}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{SFL} \end{aligned} $$

No. of unpaired electrons $=3$

For option (B)

$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Fe}^{+2}: 3 \mathrm{~d}^6 \\\\ & \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}: \mathrm{WFL} \end{aligned} $$

No. of unpaired electrons $=4$

For option (C)

$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Co}^{+3}: 3 \mathrm{~d}^6 \\\\ & \mathrm{NH}_3: \mathrm{SFL} \end{aligned} $$

No. of unpaired electrons $=0$

For option (D)

$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathrm{Ni}^{+2}: 3 \mathrm{~d}^8 \\\\ & \mathrm{NH}_3: \mathrm{SFL} \end{aligned} $$

No. of unpaired electrons $=2$
