Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion AA and the other is labelled as Reason R.R .

Assertion A: The spin only magnetic moment value for [Fe(CN)6]3−{\left[Fe ( CN{)}_{6}\right]}^{3 -} is 1.74BM,1 . 74BM, whereas for [Fe(H₂O)6][Fe(H2O)6]3+{\left[Fe{\left({H}_{2}O\right)}_{6}\right]}^{3 +} is 5.92BM.5 . 92BM .

Reason B: In both complexes, FeFe is present in +3+ 3 oxidation state.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

  1. A

    AA is false but RR is true

  2. BAA is true but RR is false
  3. CBoth AA and RR are true but RR is NOTNOT the correct explanation of AA
  4. D

    Both AA and RR are true and RR is the correct explanation of AA

Correct answer

C. Both AA and RR are true but RR is NOTNOT the correct explanation of AA

Step-by-step solution

[Fe(H2O)6]3+[ Fe ( {H}_{2}O{)}_{6}{]}^{3 +} has magnetic moment value of 5.92BM5 . 92BM because H2O{H}_{2}O is a weak ligand and pairing will not occur. It involves sp3d2{sp}^{3}{d}^{2} hybridisation with five unpaired electrons (because magnetic moment is equal to 5.92BM5 . 92BM) and outer orbital complex is formed. Magnetic moment can be calculated by the formula μm=n(n+2){\mu}_{m} = \sqrt{n ( n + 2 )} BMBM where, μm={\mu}_{m} =magnetic moment, n=n =number of unpaired electron(s).

μm=1.74BM,n=1μm=5.92BM,n=5{\mu}_{m} = 1 . 74BM, n = 1{\mu}_{m} = 5 . 92BM, n = 5

In [Fe(CN)6]3–[ Fe ( CN{)}_{6}{]}^{3 –}complex CN−{CN}^{-} is stronger ligand than H2O{H}_{2}O according to spectrochemical series. Hence, four electrons will pair itself. It involves d2sp3{d}^{2}{sp}^{3}hybridisation with one unpaired electron and inner orbital complex is formed and has a value of only 1.74BM1 . 74BM.

In Bothe the complexes the oxidation state of iron is +3.
