The magnetic moment of the high spin complex is 5 . 92   BM . What is the electronic configuration?
Options
- At 2 g 3 eg 1
- Bt 2 g 4 eg 2
- Ct 2 g 3 eg 2
- Dt 2 g 5 eg 0
Correct answer
C. t 2 g 3 eg 2
Step-by-step solution
Magnetic moment, μ = n n + 2   = 5 . 92 BM Hence, number of unpaired electrons, n = 5 As the complex mentioned is high spin, electronic configuration should be t 2 g 3 e g 2 . As no pairing of electrons takes place against hund's rule, pairing energy > ∆ o
