Atomic number of Cr and Fe are respectively 24 and 26, which of the following is paramagetic with the spin of electron?
- A[Cr(CO)6]
- B[Fe(CO)5]
- C[Fe(CN)6]4
- D[Cr(NH3)6]3+
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Atoms, ions or molecules containing unpaired electrons are paramagnetic.
In [Cr(NH3)6]3+
Cr+3= [Ar]3d34s0
NH3 is weak field ligand so pairing of d-electrons take place odes not happen.

Here, Number of unpaired electrons = 3
So it is paramagnetic.
In other cases pairing of d-electrons take place in presence of strong field ligands such as CO or CN–.
