Correct answer: D
To match the electronic configurations with the metal complex ions, we need to determine the central metal ion's oxidation state, its d-electron count, the geometry of the complex, and whether it is a high-spin or low-spin complex based on the ligand field strength.
1. Analyze the electronic configurations in List-I:
- (P) : This represents a configuration. The subscript 'g' indicates an octahedral geometry. Since all 6 electrons are in the lower energy orbitals (paired up), this is a low-spin complex, which implies a strong-field ligand.
- (Q) : This represents a configuration in an octahedral field. Since the electrons occupy the higher energy orbitals before the orbitals are fully paired, this is a high-spin complex, implying a weak-field ligand.
- (R) : This configuration has 5 d-electrons (). The absence of the subscript 'g' indicates a tetrahedral geometry. In a tetrahedral field, the d-orbitals split into a lower energy set and a higher energy set. The filling () is consistent with a high-spin configuration, which is standard for tetrahedral complexes.
- (S) : This represents a configuration in an octahedral field. Since there are electrons in the orbitals while the orbitals are not yet fully paired, this is a high-spin complex, implying a weak-field ligand.
2. Analyze the metal complex ions in List-II:
-
(1) :
- Central metal ion: Fe. Atomic number = 26 ().
- Oxidation state of Fe is +2. So, we have ( system).
- Ligand: is a weak-field ligand.
- Geometry: Octahedral (coordination number 6).
- Spin: High-spin complex.
- Electronic configuration for a high-spin octahedral complex is . This matches (S).
-
(2) :
- Central metal ion: Mn. Atomic number = 25 ().
- Oxidation state of Mn is +2. So, we have ( system).
- Ligand: is a weak-field ligand.
- Geometry: Octahedral.
- Spin: High-spin complex.
- Electronic configuration for a high-spin octahedral complex is . This matches (Q).
-
(3) :
- Central metal ion: Co. Atomic number = 27 ().
- Oxidation state of Co is +3. So, we have ( system).
- Ligand: is a strong-field ligand, especially with .
- Geometry: Octahedral.
- Spin: Low-spin complex.
- Electronic configuration for a low-spin octahedral complex is . This matches (P).
-
(4) :
- Central metal ion: Fe.
- Oxidation state of Fe is +3. So, we have ( system).
- Ligand: is a weak-field ligand.
- Geometry: Tetrahedral (coordination number 4).
- Spin: Tetrahedral complexes are typically high-spin.
- Electronic configuration for a high-spin tetrahedral complex is . This matches (R).
-
(5) :
- Central metal ion: Co.
- Oxidation state of Co is +2. So, we have ( system).
- Ligand: is a weak-field ligand.
- Geometry: Tetrahedral.
- Spin: High-spin complex.
- Electronic configuration for a high-spin tetrahedral complex is . This does not match any configuration in List-I.
3. Final Matching:
- P 3
- Q 2
- R 4
- S 1
This corresponds to the option D.
