Which one of the following shows maximum paramagnetic character
  • ${\left[ {Fe{{(CN)}_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$
  • B
    ${\left[ {Fe{{(CN)}_6}} \right]^{4 - }}$
  • C
    ${\left[ {Cr{{\left( {{H_2}O} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 + }}$
  • D
    ${\left[ {Cu{{({H_2}O)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}$

Answer

Correct option: A.
${\left[ {Fe{{(CN)}_6}} \right]^{3 - }}$
a
(i) $\left[F e(C N)_{6}\right]^{3-}$

Here, oxidation state of $F e=+3$

Electronic configuration of $F e$ (ground state) $=[A r] 3 d^{6} 4 s^{2}$

Electronic configuration of $F e$ (excited state) $=[A r] 3 d^{5} 4 s^{0}$

Number of unpaired electrons $=5$

(ii) $\left[F e(C N)_{6}\right]^{4-}$

Here, oxidation state of $F e=+2$

Electronic configuration of $F e$ (ground state) $=[A r] 3 d^{6} 4 s^{2}$

Electronic configuration of $F e$ (excited state) $=[A r] 3 d^{6} 4 s^{0}$

Number of unpaired electrons $=4$

(iii) $\left[\operatorname{Cr}\left(H_{2} O\right)_{6}\right]^{3+}$

Here, oxidation state of $C r=+3$

Electronic configuration of $C r^{3+}=[A r] 3 d^{3} 4 s^{0}$

Number of unpaired electrons $=3$

(iv) $\left[ Cu \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$

Here, oxidation state of $C u=+2$

Electronic configuration of $C u^{2+}=[A r] 3 d^{9} 4 s^{0}$

Number of unpaired electrons $=1$

A number of unpaired electrons present is directly proportional to a paramagnetic character.

So, $\left[ Fe ( CN )_{6}\right]^{3-}$ has maximum paramagnetic character.
