The spin-only magnetic moments of [ Mn ( CN )₆ ]⁴⁻ and [ MnBr ₄ ]²⁻ in Bohr Magnetons, respectively, are

Options

  1. A5.92 and 5.92
  2. B4.89 and 1.73
  3. C1.73 and 5.92
  4. D1.73 and 1.73

Correct answer

C. 1.73 and 5.92

Step-by-step solution

array l [ Mn ⁺²( CN )₆ ]⁻⁴ Mn ⁺² 3 ~d ⁵ 4 ~s ⁰ 4 p array CN ⁻ is strong ligands so creates back paring effect of ( n -1) d orbitals configuration So, unpaired e ⁻=1 array l = n ( n +2) B , M =1.73 ~B . M array And in [ MnBr ₄ ]⁻² Br is a weak ligands so no back pairing effect on (n-1) d orbital so, unpaired e ⁻ is =5 = 5(5+2) = 35 =5.92 ~B . M
