  • question_answer
    Among the following ions which one has the highest paramagnetism [IIT 1993; UPSEAT 2002]

    A) \[{{\left[ Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}} \right]}^{3+}}\]

    B) \[{{\left[ Fe{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}} \right]}^{2+}}\]

    C) \[{{\left[ Cu{{\left( {{H}_{2}}O \right)}_{6}} \right]}^{2+}}\]

    D) \[{{\left[ Zn{{\left( {{H}_{2}}O \right)}_{6}} \right]}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      \[{{[Fe{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\] has four unpaired electrons, \[{{[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{3+}},\]\[{{[Cu{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\] and \[{{[Zn{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\]have 3, 1, 0 unpaired electrons respectively.
