Coordination Compounds Question 2
Question 2 - 24 January - Shift 1
The d-electronic configuration of $[CoCl_4]^{2-}$ in tetrahedral crystal field is $e^{m} t_2{ }^{n}$. Sum of ’ $m$ ’ and ’number of unpaired electrons is
Show Answer
Answer: (7)
Solution:
Formula: Number of unpaired electron in vcoordination number four
$Co^{2+}: 3 d^{7} 4 s^{0}, Cl^{-}:$WFL
$111 t_2$
-
- $e$
Configuration $e^{4} t_2{ }^{3}: m=4$
Number of unpaired electrons $=3$
So, answer $=7$
