Correct answer: D
- Use spin-only magnetic moment formula
For a coordination compound, the spin-only magnetic moment is
where is the number of unpaired electrons.
So, we only need to find the number of unpaired electrons in each complex.
- Option A: and
(i)
- Oxidation state of Cr =
- is a weak field ligand, octahedral high-spin complex
- Hence configuration:
- Number of unpaired electrons =
So,
(ii)
- Oxidation state of Co =
- is weak field, tetrahedral complex is always high spin
- For tetrahedral , number of unpaired electrons =
So,
These are not same.
- Option B: and
(i)
- Oxidation state of Co =
- Tetrahedral with weak field ligand , hence high spin
- Tetrahedral has unpaired electrons
So,
(ii)
- Oxidation state of Fe =
- is not strong enough here to pair in octahedral complex in typical JEE treatment, so high spin
- Octahedral high-spin :
- Number of unpaired electrons =
So,
These are not same.
- Option C: and
The second complex appears to be written as , which is likely a typo for a hydrated chromium(II) species; but taking the given species as chromium(II), its -count remains .
(i)
- Oxidation state of Mn =
- is weak field, octahedral high spin
- Number of unpaired electrons =
So,
(ii) Chromium(II) aqua complex
- Weak field aqua ligand gives high-spin configuration
- Number of unpaired electrons =
So,
These are not same.
- Option D: and
(i)
- Octahedral, weak field, high spin
- Unpaired electrons =
Thus,
(ii)
- is weak field, octahedral high spin
- Configuration:
- Unpaired electrons =
Thus,
Both have the same magnetic moment.
- Conclusion
The correct pair is:
