Vedclass · Answer

(C) The magnetic moment is directly proportional to the number of unpaired electrons $(n)$.For $[Cr(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$,the configuration is $3d^4$,so $n = 4$.For $[Mn(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$,the configuration is $3d^5$,so $n = 5$.For $[Fe(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$,the configuration is $3d^6$,so $n = 4$.For $[Ni(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$,the configuration is $3d^8$,so $n = 2$.Since $[Ni(H_2O)_6]^{2+}$ has the minimum number of unpaired electrons $(n = 2)$,it exhibits the minimum paramagnetic behavior.

The electronic configurations of $Cr^{2+}, Mn^{2+}, Fe^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ ions are $3d^4, 3d^5, 3d^6$ and $3d^8$ respectively. Which of the following aqua complexes exhibits the minimum paramagnetic behavior?
