Arrange the following coordination compounds in the increasing order of magnetic moments. (Atomic numbers:…

Arrange the following coordination compounds in the increasing order of magnetic moments. (Atomic numbers: Mn=25;Fe=26)

A. FeF63-

B. FeCN63-

C. MnCl63- (high spin)

D. MnCN63-

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

  1. A<B<D<C
  2. B<D<C<A
  3. A<C<D<B
  4. B<D<A<C

Solution

Magnetic moment is directly proportional to the number of unpaired in the central metal atom of a complex.

It is calculated by the formula, μ=n(n+2)BM

(A) FeF63-

Fe+33d54s0

n=5

(B) FeCN63-

Fe+33d54s0

n=1

(C) MnCl63-

Mn+33d44s0

n=4

(D) MnCN63-

Mn+33d44s0

n=2

Hence, correct order of magnetic moment is A>C>D>B
