The d-electron configurations of Cr2+, Mn2+, Fe2+ and Co2+ are d4, d5, d6 and d7 respectively. Which one of the following will exhibit minimum paramagnetic behaviour?
(At. Nos. Cr = 24, Mn = 25, Fe = 26, Co = 27)
(At. Nos. Cr = 24, Mn = 25, Fe = 26, Co = 27)
- A[Mn(H2O)6]2+
- B[Fe(H2O)6]2+
- C[Co(H2O)6]2+
- D[Cr(H2O)6]2+

Correct answer: C
[Mn(H2O)6]2+ : Mn2+ = 3d5
Number of unpaired electron = 5
[Fe(H2O)6]2+ : Fe2+ = 3d6
Number of unpaired electrons = 4
[Co(H2O)6]2+ : Co2+ = 3d7
Number of unpaired electrons = 3
[Cr(H2O)6]2+ : Cr2+ = 3d4
Number of unpaired electrons = 4
Minimum paramagnetic behaviour is shown by [Co(H2O)6]2+.
