Which of these statements about is true?
has four unpaired electrons and will be in a low-spin configuration.
has four unpaired electrons and will be in a high spin configuration.
has no unpaired electrons and will be in a high-spin configuration.
has no unpaired electrons and will be in a low-spin configuration.
As we learnt in
Magnetic Moments (spin only) -
where n= number of unpaired electron.
- wherein
Number of unpaired and corresponding magnetic moments
Electronic config of for =
will be paired up because is an SFL
has no unpaired and is in a low spin config.
Option 1)
has four unpaired electrons and will be in a low-spin configuration.
This solution is incorrect.
Option 2)
has four unpaired electrons and will be in a high spin configuration.
This solution is incorrect.
Option 3)
has no unpaired electrons and will be in a high-spin configuration.
This solution is incorrect.
Option 4)
has no unpaired electrons and will be in a low-spin configuration.
This solution is correct.
