    The pair in which both species have same magnetic moment (spin only value) is -

    A) \[{{[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}},\,\,\,{{[COC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

    B) \[{{[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}},\,\,\,{{[Co{{F}_{6}}]}^{3-}}\]

    C) \[{{[Mn{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}},\,\,\,{{[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\]

    D) \[{{[COC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}},\,\,\,{{[Fe{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Same magnetic moment = Same number of unpaired electrons \[=\sqrt{n(n+2}\]
    Where n= number of unpaired electrons
    \[C{{o}^{2+}}=3{{d}^{7}},3\] unpaired electrons
    \[C{{r}^{2+}}=3{{d}^{4}},4\] unpaired electrons
    \[M{{n}^{2+}}=3{{d}^{+5}},5\] unpaired electrons
    \[C{{o}^{3+}}=3{{d}^{6}},4\] unpaired electrons
