Which of the following complex compounds will exhibit highest paramagnetic behaviour?
- A[Ti(NH3)6]3+
- B[Cr(NH3)6]3+
- C[Co(NH3)6]3+
- D[Zn(NH3)6]2+
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
Ti3+ [Ar] 3d14s0 (1 unpaired electron)
Cr3+ [Ar] 3d3 4s0 (3 unpaired electrons)
Co3+ [Ar] 3d6 4s0 (0 unpaired electrons because of pairing)
Zn2+ [Ar] 3d10 (no unpaired electrons)
[Cr(NH3)6]3+ exhibits highest paramagnetic behaviour as it contains 3 unpaired electrons.
