The correct order of magnetic moments (spin only values in B.M.) is:
The correct order of magnetic moments (spin only values in B.M.) is:
Options
- A\left[\mathrm{MnCl}_{4}\right]^{2-} \gt
- B\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_{6}\right]^{4-} \gt
- C\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{4}\right]^{2-} \gt
- D\left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{4}\right]^{2-} \gt \left[\mathrm{MnCl}_{4}\right]^{2-}\mathrm{Mn}=25, \mathrm{Fe}=26, \mathrm{Co}=27)
Correct answer
C. \left[\mathrm{CoCl}_{4}\right]^{2-} \gt
Step-by-step solution
Number of unpaired electrons in central atom zer three five The greater the number of unpaired electrons, the higher the value of magnetic moment
