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

    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 :

    Spin only magnetic moment,\[{{\mu }_{s}}=\sqrt{n(n+2)}\] where, \[n=\]number of unpaired electrons. Number of unpaired electrons in\[C{{r}^{2+}}([Ar]\,3{{d}^{4}})\] is 4. in \[C{{o}^{2+}}\]\[([Ar]\,3{{d}^{7}})\] is 3, in \[F{{e}^{2+}}\]\[([Ar]\,3{{d}^{6}})\] is 4, in \[M{{n}^{2+}}\]\[([Ar]\,3{{d}^{5}})\] is 5. As the number of unpaired electrons in \[C{{r}^{2+}}\] and \[F{{e}^{2+}}\] are same hence \[{{[Cr\,{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\] and \[{{[Fe\,{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]}^{2+}}\] will have same magnetic moment.
