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) t2g6eg0t_{2g}^6 e_g^0t2g6​eg0​: This represents a d6d^6d6 configuration. The subscript 'g' indicates an octahedral geometry. Since all 6 electrons are in the lower energy t2gt_{2g}t2g​ orbitals (paired up), this is a low-spin complex, which implies a strong-field ligand.
  • (Q) t2g3eg2t_{2g}^3 e_g^2t2g3​eg2​: This represents a d5d^5d5 configuration in an octahedral field. Since the electrons occupy the higher energy ege_geg​ orbitals before the t2gt_{2g}t2g​ orbitals are fully paired, this is a high-spin complex, implying a weak-field ligand.
  • (R) e2t23e^2 t_2^3e2t23​: This configuration has 5 d-electrons (2+3=52+3=52+3=5). The absence of the subscript 'g' indicates a tetrahedral geometry. In a tetrahedral field, the d-orbitals split into a lower energy eee set and a higher energy t2t_2t2​ set. The filling (e2t23e^2 t_2^3e2t23​) is consistent with a high-spin d5d^5d5 configuration, which is standard for tetrahedral complexes.
  • (S) t2g4eg2t_{2g}^4 e_g^2t2g4​eg2​: This represents a d6d^6d6 configuration in an octahedral field. Since there are electrons in the ege_geg​ orbitals while the t2gt_{2g}t2g​ 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) [Fe(H2O)6]2+\left[\mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}[Fe(H2​O)6​]2+:

    • Central metal ion: Fe. Atomic number = 26 ([Ar]3d64s2[Ar] 3d^6 4s^2[Ar]3d64s2).
    • Oxidation state of Fe is +2. So, we have Fe2+\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}Fe2+ (d6d^6d6 system).
    • Ligand: H2O\mathrm{H}_2OH2​O is a weak-field ligand.
    • Geometry: Octahedral (coordination number 6).
    • Spin: High-spin complex.
    • Electronic configuration for a high-spin d6d^6d6 octahedral complex is t2g4eg2t_{2g}^4 e_g^2t2g4​eg2​. This matches (S).
  • (2) [Mn(H2O)6]2+\left[\mathrm{Mn}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]^{2+}[Mn(H2​O)6​]2+:

    • Central metal ion: Mn. Atomic number = 25 ([Ar]3d54s2[Ar] 3d^5 4s^2[Ar]3d54s2).
    • Oxidation state of Mn is +2. So, we have Mn2+\mathrm{Mn}^{2+}Mn2+ (d5d^5d5 system).
    • Ligand: H2O\mathrm{H}_2OH2​O is a weak-field ligand.
    • Geometry: Octahedral.
    • Spin: High-spin complex.
    • Electronic configuration for a high-spin d5d^5d5 octahedral complex is t2g3eg2t_{2g}^3 e_g^2t2g3​eg2​. This matches (Q).
  • (3) [Co(NH3)6]3+\left[\mathrm{Co}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}[Co(NH3​)6​]3+:

    • Central metal ion: Co. Atomic number = 27 ([Ar]3d74s2[Ar] 3d^7 4s^2[Ar]3d74s2).
    • Oxidation state of Co is +3. So, we have Co3+\mathrm{Co}^{3+}Co3+ (d6d^6d6 system).
    • Ligand: NH3\mathrm{NH}_3NH3​ is a strong-field ligand, especially with Co3+\mathrm{Co}^{3+}Co3+.
    • Geometry: Octahedral.
    • Spin: Low-spin complex.
    • Electronic configuration for a low-spin d6d^6d6 octahedral complex is t2g6eg0t_{2g}^6 e_g^0t2g6​eg0​. This matches (P).
  • (4) [FeCl4]−\left[\mathrm{FeCl}_4\right]^{-}[FeCl4​]−:

    • Central metal ion: Fe.
    • Oxidation state of Fe is +3. So, we have Fe3+\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}Fe3+ (d5d^5d5 system).
    • Ligand: Cl−\mathrm{Cl}^-Cl− is a weak-field ligand.
    • Geometry: Tetrahedral (coordination number 4).
    • Spin: Tetrahedral complexes are typically high-spin.
    • Electronic configuration for a high-spin d5d^5d5 tetrahedral complex is e2t23e^2 t_2^3e2t23​. This matches (R).
  • (5) [CoCl4]2−\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_4\right]^{2-}[CoCl4​]2−:

    • Central metal ion: Co.
    • Oxidation state of Co is +2. So, we have Co2+\mathrm{Co}^{2+}Co2+ (d7d^7d7 system).
    • Ligand: Cl−\mathrm{Cl}^-Cl− is a weak-field ligand.
    • Geometry: Tetrahedral.
    • Spin: High-spin complex.
    • Electronic configuration for a high-spin d7d^7d7 tetrahedral complex is e4t23e^4 t_2^3e4t23​. This does not match any configuration in List-I.

3. Final Matching:

  • P →\rightarrow→ 3
  • Q →\rightarrow→ 2
  • R →\rightarrow→ 4
  • S →\rightarrow→ 1

This corresponds to the option D.
