A. [FeF6]3
B. [Fe(CN)6]3
C. [MnCl6]3
D. [Mn(CN)6]3
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Multiple Choice Options
- A A < B < D < C
- B B < D < C < A
- C A < C < D < B
- D B < D < A < C
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
| Coordination Compound | Number of unpaired e– (n) | Magnetic moment (µ) (B.M) |
|---|---|---|
| A. [FeF6]3 | 5 | 5.91 |
| B. [Fe(CN)6]3 | 1 | 1.73 |
| C. [MnCl6]3 | 4 | 4.89 |
| D. [Mn(CN)6]3 | 2 | 2.82 |
Hence, correct order of magnetic moment is 2 < 4 < 3 < 1
