MCQ
Consider the following metal complexes.

${\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)\right]^{3+}}$

${\left[ CoCl \left( NH _{3}\right)_{5}\right]^{2+}}$

${\left[ Co ( CN )_{6}\right]^{3-}}$

${\left[ Co \left( NH _{3}\right)_{5}\left( H _{2} O \right)\right]^{3+}}$

The spin-only magnetic moment value of the complex that absorbs light with shortest wavelength is $B.M.$ (Nearest integer)

  • A
    $3$
  • $0$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $1$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0$
b
$\Delta_{0} \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}$

Here, $CN$ being SFL will have maximum $CFSE$ So, $\left[ Co ( CN )_{6}\right]^{3-}$ will be $d ^{2} sp ^{3}, \mu=0$
