The pair having the same magnetic moment is: A t .   N o .   : C r = 24 ,   M n = 25 ,  …

The pair having the same magnetic moment is:

At. No. :Cr=24, Mn=25, Fe=26, Co=27
  1. Mn H2O62+ and CrH2O62+
  2. CoCl42- and FeH2O62+
  3. CrH2O62+ and CoCl42-
  4. CrH2O62+ and FeH2O62+

Solution

The compounds having the same number of unpaired electrons will have same magnetic moment.

Magnetic moment μ = nn+2

where n is the number of unpaired electrons

[ Cr ( H 2 O ) 6 ] +2

C r 2+ .(3 d 4 ) with weak field ligand so unpaired electrons are 4

So, μ= 44+2 = 24

F e +2 ( 3 d 6 ) Weak field ligand so unpaired electrons are 4

μ = 44+2 = 24
