387.

Which of the following complex compounds will exhibit highest paramagnetic behaviour? (At. no. Ti= 22, Cr= 24, Co= 27, Zn= 30)

  • [Ti(NH3)6]3+

  • [Cr((NH3)6]3+

  • [Co(NH3)6]3+

  • [ZN(NH3)6]2+


B.

[Cr((NH3)6]3+

In the presence of strong field ligand NH3, pairing of electrons takes place and thus, octahedral complex, [Co(NH3)6]3+ is diamagnetic. [Inner orbital or low spin complex] (6NH3 molecules)

       

(d) Electronic configuration of Zn2+ in [Zn(NH3)6]2+

  

Therefore, [Zn(NH3)6]2+  is an outer orbital complex and is diamagnetic. [Cr(NH3)6]3+ exhibits highest paramagnetic behaviour as it contains 3 unpaired.
