The calculated magnetic moments (spin only value) for species FeCl 4 2 - , Co C 2 O 4 3 3 - and MnO 4 2 -…

The calculated magnetic moments (spin only value) for species FeCl42-,CoC2O433- and MnO42- respectively are:
  1. 4.90, 0 and 1.73 BM
  2. 4.90, 0 and 2.83 BM
  3. 5.82, 0 and 0 BM
  4. 5.92, 4.90 and 0 BM

Solution

 

(i) FeCl42- Fe2+ 3d64 unpaired electrons.

μ=nn+2BM

=44+2BM

=24 BM4.90 BM

 

(ii) CoC2O43-3 is a strong field ligand & causes
pairing & hence no. unpaired electron

μ=0

 

(iii) MnO42-  Mn+6 it has one unpaired electron.

Mn+6Ar3 d1  μ=nn+2BM

=11+2BM

=3BM1.73 BM
