The calculated magnetic moments (spin only value) for species

Question:

The calculated magnetic moments (spin only value) for species $\left[\mathrm{FeCl}_{4}\right]^{2-},\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)_{3}\right]^{3-}$ and

$\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{2-}$ respectively are :

  1. $5.82,0$ and 0 BM

  2. $4.90,0$ and $1.73 \mathrm{BM}$

  3. 5.92, 4.90 and 0 BM

  4. 4.90, 0 and 2.83 BM 


Correct Option: , 2

Solution:

$\mu=\sqrt{n(n+2)} B M$

$=\sqrt{4(4+2)} \mathrm{BM}$

$=\sqrt{24} \mathrm{BM} \Rightarrow 4.90 \mathrm{BM}$

(ii) $\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)_{3}\right]^{-3}$

µ = 0

(iii) $\mathrm{MnO}_{4}^{-2}$

$\mathrm{Mn}^{+6} \Rightarrow[\mathrm{Ar}] 3 \mathrm{~d}^{1} \quad \mu=\sqrt{\mathrm{n}(\mathrm{n}+2)} \mathrm{BM}$

$=\sqrt{1(1+2)} \mathrm{BM}$

$=\sqrt{3} \mathrm{BM} \Rightarrow 1.73 \mathrm{BM}$
