Correct answer: A

  1. Find oxidation states and d-electron counts
  • For [Cr(NH3)6]3+[Cr(NH_3)_6]^{3+}[Cr(NH3​)6​]3+:

    • NH3NH_3NH3​ is a neutral ligand.
    • So oxidation state of Cr is +3+3+3.
    • Cr: Z=24⇒[Ar]3d54s1Z=24 \Rightarrow [Ar]3d^54s^1Z=24⇒[Ar]3d54s1
    • Cr3+Cr^{3+}Cr3+ loses 3 electrons ⇒3d3\Rightarrow 3d^3⇒3d3
  • For [CuF6]3−[CuF_6]^{3-}[CuF6​]3−:

    • Each F−F^-F− has charge −1-1−1.
    • Let oxidation state of Cu be xxx: x+6(−1)=−3⇒x=+3x+6(-1)=-3 \Rightarrow x=+3x+6(−1)=−3⇒x=+3
    • Cu: Z=29⇒[Ar]3d104s1Z=29 \Rightarrow [Ar]3d^{10}4s^1Z=29⇒[Ar]3d104s1
    • Cu3+Cu^{3+}Cu3+ loses 3 electrons ⇒3d8\Rightarrow 3d^8⇒3d8
  1. Determine number of unpaired electrons
  • [Cr(NH3)6]3+[Cr(NH_3)_6]^{3+}[Cr(NH3​)6​]3+:

    • Octahedral complex with d3d^3d3 configuration.
    • Electron arrangement: t2g3eg0t_{2g}^3e_g^0t2g3​eg0​
    • Number of unpaired electrons, n=3n=3n=3
  • [CuF6]3−[CuF_6]^{3-}[CuF6​]3−:

    • Octahedral complex with d8d^8d8 configuration.
    • In octahedral field: t2g6eg2t_{2g}^6e_g^2t2g6​eg2​
    • Number of unpaired electrons, n=2n=2n=2
  1. Use spin-only magnetic moment formula

μ=n(n+2)  BM\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)}\; \text{BM}μ=n(n+2)​BM

  • For [Cr(NH3)6]3+[Cr(NH_3)_6]^{3+}[Cr(NH3​)6​]3+: μ=3(3+2)=15≈3.87  BM\mu = \sqrt{3(3+2)}=\sqrt{15}\approx 3.87\;\text{BM}μ=3(3+2)​=15​≈3.87BM

  • For [CuF6]3−[CuF_6]^{3-}[CuF6​]3−: μ=2(2+2)=8≈2.84  BM\mu = \sqrt{2(2+2)}=\sqrt{8}\approx 2.84\;\text{BM}μ=2(2+2)​=8​≈2.84BM

  1. Match with options

Thus the calculated spin-only magnetic moments are: 3.87  BM and 2.84  BM3.87\;\text{BM and }2.84\;\text{BM}3.87BM and 2.84BM

So the correct option is A.
