Question
The d-electron cnfiguration of Cr2+ , Mn2+ , Fe2+ and Co2+ are d4 , d5 , d6 and d7 respectively. Which one of the following will exhibit minimum paramagnatic behaviour ?
.(At. no. Cr = 24, Mn = 25, Fe = 26, Co = 27)
.(At. no. Cr = 24, Mn = 25, Fe = 26, Co = 27)
Options
A.[ Fe ( H2O)6 ]2+
B.[ Co ( H2O)6 ]2+
C.[ Cr ( H2O)6 ]2+
D.[ Mn ( H2O)6 ]2+
Solution
Cr2+ : d4 
Mn2+ : d5
Fe2+ : d6
Co2+ : d7
∴ [ Co ( H2O)6 ]2+ has minimum number of unpaired electrons and thus, minimum paramagnetic behaviour.
Mn2+ : d5
Fe2+ : d6
Co2+ : d7
∴ [ Co ( H2O)6 ]2+ has minimum number of unpaired electrons and thus, minimum paramagnetic behaviour.
