MCQ
The pair in which both the species have the same magnetic moment (spin only) is :
  • A
    $\left[\operatorname{Mn}\left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ and $\left[ Cr \left( H _{2} O \right)\right]^{2+}$
  • B
    $\left[ Cr \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ and $\left[ CoCl _{4}\right]^{2-}$
  • $\left[ Cr \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ and $\left[ Fe \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$
  • D
    $\left[ Co ( OH )_{4}\right]^{2-}$ and $\left[ Fe \left( NH _{3}\right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\left[ Cr \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ and $\left[ Fe \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$
c
Thus complex $\left[ Cr \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ and $\left[ Fe \left( H _{2} O \right)_{6}\right]^{2+}$ have same no. of unpaired $e^-$ and hence same magnetic moment (spin only).
