Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryCoordination Compounds
A d-block element forms octahedral complex but its magnetic moment remains same either in strong field or In weak field ligand. Which of the following is/are correct?
Options
- AElement always forms colourless compound
- BNumber of electrons in t_ 2g , orbitals are higher than in e_g , orbitais
- CIt can have either d^3 or d^8 configuration
- DIt can have either d^7 or d^8 configuration
Correct answer
C. It can have either d^3 or d^8 configuration
Step-by-step solution
Irrespective of nature of ligand field, magnetic moment of octahedral complexes having metal ions in d^1, d^2 , d^3, d^8, d^9 configuration, remains same. Element may or may not form colouriess complex.
