Which of the following is a diamagnetic complex
Which of the following is a diamagnetic complex
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Among the given option (a) is a diamagnetic complex.
(a) .
Thus, has no unpaired electrons and is a diamagnetic complex.
(b) \left[{NiCl}_{4}\right]2 - ⇒ Ni\left(28\right) ⇒ {Ni}^{2 +} = 3d^{8}4s^{0}
Thus, has one unpaired electrons and is paramagnetic.
(d) \left[Fe\left({H}_{2}O\right)6\right]3 + ⇒ Fe\left(26\right) ⇒ {Fe}^{3 +} = 3d^{5}4s^{0}
Thus, has five unpaired electrons and is paramagnetic.
