Analyzing +4 | -1
The d−d -electron configurations of Cr2+,  Mn2+,  Fe2+\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{r}^{2 + }},\mathrm{\;M}{\mathrm{n}^{2 + }},\mathrm{\;F}{\mathrm{e}^{2 + }} and Co2+\mathrm{C}{\mathrm{o}^{2 + }} are d4,d5,d6  and  d7{d^4},{d^5},{d^6}\;and\;{d^7} respectively. Which one of the following will exhibit minimum paramagnetic behaviour?
(At. Nos.Cr=24,  Mn=25,  Fe=26,  Co=27\mathrm{Cr} = 24,\mathrm{\;Mn} = 25,\mathrm{\;Fe} = 26,\mathrm{\;Co} = 27)
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
[Co(H2O)6]2+{\left[ {\mathrm{Co}{{\left( {{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O}} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}
Option D ([Co(H2O)6]2+{\left[ {\mathrm{Co}{{\left( {{\mathrm{H}_2}\mathrm{O}} \right)}_6}} \right]^{2 + }}) is correct because it has the least number of unpaired electrons after pairing in a weak field ligand environment.
