Co-Ordination Compounds Question 297

Question: Among the following complexes (K-P)

K3[Fe(CN)6] (K), [Co(NH3)6]Cl3(L), Na3[Co(oxalate)3] (M), [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2)(N), K2[Pt(CN)4(O) and [Zn(H2O)6](NO3)2(P) the diamagnetic complexes are

Options:

A) K, L, M, N

B) K, M, O, P

C) L, M, O, P

D) L, M, N, O

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Complex No.of electrons in outer d orbital No.of unpaired electrons (s)
[Fe(CN)6]3 3d5 1 ( CN causes pairing of electrons)
[Co(NH3)6]3 3d6 0
[Co(OX)3]3 3d6 0
[Ni(H2O)6]2+ 3d8 2
[Pt(CN)4]2 5d8 0 ( CN cause pairing of electrons)
[Zn(H2O)6]2+ 3d10 0

Thus L, M, O and P are diamagnetic.
