Atomic number of and are respectively 24 and 26 , which of the following is paramagnetic?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}
Correct answer
D. \left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+}
Step-by-step solution
Odd electrons, ions and molecules are paramagnetic.
In (\mathrm{Cr}(\mathrm{CO})_6) molecule 12 electrons are contributed by CO group and it contains no odd electron.
(\mathrm{Cr} \rightarrow 3 d^5 4 s^1)
(\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CO})_5) molecule also does not contain odd electron.
()
(\therefore) No odd electrons.
(\text{In }\left[\mathrm{Cr}\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right]^{3+} \text{ ion } \mathrm{Cr}(+) \rightarrow 3 d^3 4 s^0)
This ion contains odd electron so it is paramagnetic.
