    Atomic number of Cr and Fe are respectively 24 and 26, which of the following is paramagnetic with the spin of electron:            [AIPMT 2002]

    A) \[[Cr\text{ }{{(CO)}_{6}}]\]

    B) \[[Fe\text{ }{{(CO)}_{5}}]\]

    C)  \[{{[Fe\text{ }{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4\,-}}\]

    D) \[{{[Cr{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Atoms, ions or molecules having unpaired electrons are paramagnetic. In \[[Cr(N{{H}_{3}})_{6}^{3+}\,Cr\] is present as \[Cr\,(III)\] or \[C{{r}^{3+}}\]
                So electronic configuration is
                                        \[\underset{Ground\,state}{\mathop{_{24}Cr+}}\,1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}\,3{{p}^{6}}\,3{{d}^{5}},\,4{{s}^{1}}\]
                            \[C{{r}^{3+}}=1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{3}}\]
               
                Number of unpaired electrons = 3
                            \[\ln \,[Cr{{(CO)}_{6}}](O.\,N.\,of\,Cr=0)\]
                            \[\underset{(Ground\,state)}{\mathop{{{\,}_{24}}Cr}}\,=1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}3{{p}^{6}}3{{d}^{5}},\,4{{s}^{1}}\]
               
                Number of unpaired electron = 0
                            \[\ln \,[Fe{{(CO)}_{5}}]\,\,(ON\,of\,Fe=0)\]
                \[\,\underset{(Ground\,state)}{\mathop{_{26}Fe}}\,=1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}\,3{{p}^{6}}\,3{{d}^{6}},4{{s}^{2}}\]
               
                Number of unpaired electron = 0
                In         \[{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\,(O\,No\,of\,Fe=+2)\]
                            \[\underset{(Ground\,state)}{\mathop{F{{e}^{2+}}}}\,=1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}\,3{{p}^{6}}\,3{{d}^{6}}\]
               
                Number of unpaired electron = 0
                Hence, in above complex ion paramagnetic character is in \[{{[Cr{{(N{{H}_{3}})}_{6}}]}^{3+}}\] as it contains three unpaired electrons.
