The total number of unpaired electrons present in the d3d^3, d4d^4 (low spin), d5d^5 (high spin), d6d^6 (high spin)andd7and d^7 (low spin) octahedral complex systems is _______.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

In an octahedral complex, the d-orbitals split into t2gt_{2g} and ege_g levels.

For d3d^3: Configuration is t2g3eg0t_{2g}^3 e_g^0. Number of unpaired electrons = 33.

For d4d^4 (low spin): Configuration is t2g4eg0t_{2g}^4 e_g^0. Number of unpaired electrons = 22.

For d5d^5 (high spin): Configuration is t2g3eg2t_{2g}^3 e_g^2. Number of unpaired electrons = 55.

For d6d^6 (high spin): Configuration is t2g4eg2t_{2g}^4 e_g^2. Number of unpaired electrons = 44.

For d7d^7 (low spin): Configuration is t2g6eg1t_{2g}^6 e_g^1. Number of unpaired electrons = 11.

Total number of unpaired electrons = 3+2+5+4+1=153 + 2 + 5 + 4 + 1 = 15.
