Correct answer: D
- Check Statement I
We examine the complexes:
(a)
Let oxidation state of Mn be : So, has configuration: Since is a strong field ligand, pairing occurs in orbitals, giving a low-spin octahedral complex. Hence inner orbital complex with hybridisation:
(b)
Oxidation state of Fe: So, is: Again, is strong field, so electrons pair up to form a low-spin octahedral complex. Thus hybridisation is:
(c)
Each oxalate ligand has charge . Let oxidation state of Co be : So, is: For , even with oxalate (which gives sufficiently large splitting with ), pairing occurs and the octahedral complex is low spin. Hence it is an inner orbital complex with hybridisation:
So, Statement I is correct.
- Check Statement II
The statement refers to:
(a)
Oxidation state of Mn: Thus is .
is a weak field ligand, so no pairing occurs in octahedral field (high spin). For high-spin octahedral configuration: Number of unpaired electrons . Hence it is paramagnetic.
(b)
Oxidation state of Fe: Thus is .
is a weak field ligand, so high-spin octahedral complex forms. For high-spin : Number of unpaired electrons . Hence it is paramagnetic.
So, Statement II is also correct.
- Final conclusion
- Statement I: True
- Statement II: True
Therefore, the correct option is:
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer:
My derived answer also is , so they agree.
