MCQ
Which of the following complex has zero magnetic moment (spin only)?
  • A
    $[Ni(NH_3)_6]Cl_2$
  • B
    $Na_3[FeF_6 ]$
  • C
    $[Cr(H_2O)_6]SO_4$
  • $K_4[Fe(CN)_6 ]$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$K_4[Fe(CN)_6 ]$
d
$[Ni{(N{H_3})_6}]C{l_2}$   $\to $ $s{p^3}{d^2}$   hybridisation  $\to $  $2$ unpaired electrons

$N{a_3}[Fe{F_6}]$    $\to $   $s{p^3}{d^2}$   hybridisation $\to $  $3$ unpaired electrons

$[Cr{({H_2}O)_6}]S{O_4}$    $\to $  ${d^2}s{p^3}$   hybridisation $\to $  $3$ unpaired electrons

${K_4}[Fe{(CN)_6}]$ $\to $      ${d^2}s{p^3}$   hybridisation  $\to $ No unpaired electrons

Zero magnetic moment means all the electrons paired.
