Correct answer: A
- Find oxidation state and electronic configuration of the metal in each complex
We check whether the complex has unpaired electrons.
- Option A:
Let oxidation state of Cu be .
So, Cu is .
Atomic number of Cu = 29
Neutral Cu:
For :
This is a completely filled -subshell, so all electrons are paired. Hence, this complex is diamagnetic.
- Option B:
Let oxidation state of Cu be .
So, Cu is .
For :
A configuration has one unpaired electron. So this complex is paramagnetic.
- Option C:
Let oxidation state of Fe be .
So, Fe is .
Atomic number of Fe = 26
Neutral Fe:
For :
A configuration generally has unpaired electrons, so it is paramagnetic.
- Option D:
Let oxidation state of Fe be .
So, Fe is .
For :
is a weak field ligand, so the complex is high spin. For octahedral high-spin , there are 4 unpaired electrons. Hence it is paramagnetic.
- Conclusion
Only Option A is diamagnetic.
