Consider the following complex ions P = [ FeF 6 ] 3 – , Q = [ V ( H 2 O ) 6 ] 2 + , R = [ Fe ( H 2 O ) 6 ] 2…

Consider the following complex ions

P = [FeF6]3,  Q = [V(H2O) 6]2+,  R = [Fe(H2O)6]2+

The correct order of the complex ions, according to their spin only magnetic moment values (in B.M.) is :

  1. R < Q < P 
  2. R < P< Q
  3. Q < R < P 
  4. Q < P < R

Solution

[FeF6]3 : Fe+3 : [Ar] 3d5

F: Weak field Ligand 

No. of unpaired electrons =5

μ=(5(5+2)) 

μ=35BM

VH2O6+2: V+2: 3d3 

No. of unpaired electrons =3

μ=3(3+2)

μ=15BM

FeH2O6+2: Fe+2:3d6

H2O : Weak field Ligand 

No. of unpaired electrons =4

μ=4(4+2)

μ=24BM

Hence, the answer is option C.
