Question
Explain magnetic property of coordination compound.

Answer

$\rightarrow$ Metal ions with upto three electrons in the d orbitals, like $Ti ^{3+}\left( d ^1\right) ; V ^{3+}\left( d ^2\right) ; Cr ^{3+}\left( d ^3\right) ;$ tuo vacant $d$ orbitals are available for octahed $d^3$ hybridization with $4 s$ and $4 p$ orbitals.
$\rightarrow$ The magnetic behaviour of these free jons and their coordination entities is similar.
$\rightarrow$ When more than three $3d$ electrons are present, the required pair of $3d$ orbitals for octahedral hybridization is not directly available (as a consequence of Hund's rule).
$\rightarrow$ Thus, for $d ^4\left( Cr ^{2+}, Mn ^{3+}\right), d ^5\left( Mn ^{2+}, Fe ^{3+}\right), d ^6$
$\left( Fe ^{2+}, Co ^{3+}\right)$ cases, a vacant pair of $d$ orbitals results only by pairing of $3 d$ electrons which leaves two, one and zero unpaired electrons, respectively.
$\rightarrow$ The magnetic data agree with maximum spin pairing in many cases, especially with coordination compounds containing $d^6$ ions. However, with species containing $d^4$ and $d^5$ ions there are complications.
$\rightarrow$ $\left[ Mn ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}$ has magnetic moment of two unpaired electrons while $\left[ MnCl _6\right]^{3-}$ has a paramagnetic moment of four unpaired electrons.
$\rightarrow$ $\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}$ has magnetic moment of a single unpaired electron while $\left[ FeF _6\right]^{3-}$ has a paramagnetic moment of five unpaired electrons.
$\rightarrow$ $\left[ CoF _6\right]^{3-}$ is paramagnetic with four unpaired electrons while $\left[ Co \left( C _2 O _4\right)_3\right]^{3-}$ is diamagnetic.
$\rightarrow$ This apparent anomaly is explained by valence bond theory in terms of formation of inner orbital and outer orbital coordination entities.
$\rightarrow$ $\left[ Mn ( CN )_6\right]^{3-},\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}$ and $\left[ Co \left( C _2 O _4\right)_3\right]^{3-}$ are inner orbital complexes involving $d ^2 sp ^3$ hybridisation, the former two complexes are paramagnetic and the latter diamagnetic.
$\rightarrow$ On the other hand, $\left[ MnCl _6\right]^{3-},\left[ FeF _6\right]^{3-}$ and $\left[ CoF _6\right]^{3-}$ are outer orbital complexes involving $sp ^3 d^2$ hybridisation and are paramagnetic corresponding to four, five and four unpaired electrons.

Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Raoult's law for volatile liquids states that the partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction, whereas for a non $-$ volatile solute, it states that the vapour pressure of a solution of a non $-$ volatile solute is equal to the vapour pressure of the pure solvent at that temperature multiplied by its mole fraction. Two liquids $A$ and $B$ are mixed with each other to form a solution, the vapour phase consists of both components of the solution. Once the components in the solution have reached equilibrium, the total vapour pressure of the solution can be determined by combining Raoult's law with Dalton's law of partial pressures. If a non $-$ volatile solute $B$ is dissolved into a solvent $A$ to form a solution, the vapour pressure of the solution will be lower than that of the pure solvent. The solutions which obey Raoult's law over the entire range of concentration are ideal solutions, whereas the solutions for which vapour pressure is either higher or lowerthan that predicted by Raoult's law are called non $-$ ideal solutions. Non $-$ ideal solutions are identified by determining the strength of the intermolecular forces between the different molecules in that particular solution.They can either show positive or negative deviation from Raoult's law depending on whether the $A - B$ interactions in solution are stronger or weaker than $A - A$ and $B - B$ interactions.

The solutions which boil at a constant temperature like a pure liquid and possess the same composition in liquid, as well as vapour state are called azeotropes. The components of azeotropes cannot be separated by fractional distillation. Only non-ideal solutions form azeotropes. Solutions with negative deviation form maximum boiling azeotrope and the solutions with positive deviation form minimum boiling azeotrope. The boiling point of azeotrope is never equal to the boiling points of any of the components of the azeotrope.

Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow:
The f$-$block consists of elements in which $4f$ and $5f$ orbitals are progressively filled. They are placed in a separate panel at the bottom of the periodic table. The names transition metals and inner transition metals are often used to refer to the elements of d$-$and f$-$blocks respectively. The d$-$block occupies the large middle section of the periodic table flanked between s and p blocks in the periodic table. In general, the electronic configuration of the outer orbitals of these elements is $(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{1-2}.$ The electronic configurations of outer orbitals of $Zn, Cd, Hg$ and $Cn$ are represented by the general formula $(n - 1)d^{10}ns^2.$ The transition metals and their compounds also exhibit catalytic property and paramagnetic behaviour. Transition metal also forms an alloy. An alloy is a blend of metals prepared by mixing the components. Alloys may be homogeneous solid solutions in which the atoms of one metal are distributed randomly among the atoms of the other.
