In which of the following order the given complex ions are arranged correctly with respect to their decreasing spin only magnetic moment?
(i) FeF63-

(ii) CoNH363+

(iii) NiCl42-

(iv) CuNH342+

  1. ii>i>iii>iv
  2. iii>iv>ii>i
  3. i>iii>iv>ii
  4. ii>iii>i>iv

Solution

Complex
(i) FeF63-Fe3+[Ar]3 d5, F- is WFL

n=5,  μ=35 B.M

(ii)CoNH363+Co3+Ar3 d6,NH3 is SFL

n=0, μ=0 B.M

(iii) NiCl42-Ni2+Ar3 d8,Cl-WFL

n=2, μ=8 B.M

(iv) CuNH342+Cu2+Ar3 d9,NH3SFL

n=1, μ=3 B.M

Thus correct order of spin only magnetic moment is

(i)>(iii)>(iv)>(ii)
