The metal complex that is diamagnetic is (Atomic number : Fe , 26 ; Cu , 29 )

The metal complex that is diamagnetic is (Atomic number : Fe,26;Cu,29)
  1. K3CuCN4
  2. K2CuCN4
  3. K3FeCN4
  4. K4FeCl6

Solution

K3CuCN4:

CuCN4-3

Oxidation number of of copper is Cu+1

Electronic configuration of Cu+1=Ar3 d104s0

Due to the absence of unpaired electrons, their spin only magnetic moment is zero, they are diamagnetic in nature

K2CuCN4:

CuCN42-, Cu2+=Ar3d9 one unpaired electron is present.Hence, paramagnetic in nature.

K4FeCl6:

FeCl6-4Fe+2: Ar 3d6 4s0,one unpaired electron.Hence, paramagnetic in nature.
