The magnetic moment is measured in Bohr Magneton (BM). Spin only magnetic moment of Fe in Fe H 2 O 6 3 + and Fe CN 6 3 - complexes respectively is:
Options
- A6 . 92   B . M . in both
- B3 . 87   B . M . and 1 . 732   B . M .
- C5 . 92   B . M . and 1 . 732   B . M .
- D4 . 89   B . M . and 6 . 92   B . M .
Correct answer
C. 5 . 92   B . M . and 1 . 732   B . M .
Step-by-step solution
The spin only magnetic moment can be calculated as follows μ = n n + 2 BM n = Number of unpaired electrons Fe H 2 O 6 3 + = d 5 ( High   spin   complex ) = 5 .unpaired electrons μ = 5 × 7 = 35 = 5 . 92   B . M . Fe CN 6 3 + = d 5 ( Low   spin   complex ) = 1 μ = 1 × 3 = 3 = 1 . 732   B . M .
