Answer to Problem 25PS
The given complex contains 4 unpaired electrons since the given complex is high spin complex where electrons present in higher energy d orbitals. Therefore, the given complex is paramagnetic.
Explanation of Solution
Examining the given complex shows that
The oxidation state for
Now considering the charge of metal atom the outer electrons present in the given complex is six distributed over d orbitals as follows,
The above configuration clearly shows that there exist 4 unpaired electrons since the given condition says that it is high spin complex where pairing of electrons does not occur and the electrons tends to present at higher level of d orbitals hence the given complex is paramagnetic.
(b)
Interpretation: The electronic configuration, magnetic character and the number of unpaired electrons for the given set of high spin tetrahedral complexes has to be determined.
Concept introduction: The transition metal atoms have tendency to form complex compounds that are linked to the certain neutral or ionic species which leads to the formation of coordination compounds. There exists a large number of coordination compounds that have a large number of applications in the chemical industry as well as in daily life.
