The complex ion which has no d -electrons in the central metal atom is
Options
- A[ MnO ₄ ]⁻
- B[ Co ( NH ₃ )₆ ]³⁺
- C[ Fe ( CN )₆ ]³⁻
- D[ Cr ( H ₂ O )₆ ]³⁺
Correct answer
A. [ MnO ₄ ]⁻
Step-by-step solution
In [ MnO ₄ ]⁻ , the oxidation state of Mn is +7 . aligned Mn (25) & =[ Ar ] 3 d^5 4 s^2 Mn ⁷⁺ & =[ Ar ] aligned Thus, in [ MnO ₄ ]⁻ no d -electron is present.
