Question

9. For the octahedral complexes below, determine how many d electrons are associated with the central metal ion. Use the energy level diagram in CHEM 112 datasheet to draw the electron configuration, determine the number of unpaired electrons in each complex, and predict whether the complex is diamagnetic or paramagnetic. a. [FeCl?]³? (high spin) b. [Fe(NO?)?]³? (low spin) c. [Mo(NH?)?]²? (weak ligand field) d. [Co(H?O)?]³?(strong ligand field) e. [Cd(H?O)?]SO? f. [Zn(H?O)?]²?

Step 1

- [Fe(NO2)6]3- (low spin): Fe3+ has 5 d electrons. - [Mo(NH3)6]2+ (weak ligand field): Mo2+ has 4 d electrons. - [Co(H2O)6]3+ (strong ligand field): Co3+ has 6 d electrons. - [Cd(H2O)6]SO4: Cd2+ has 10 d electrons. - [Zn(H2O)4]2+: Zn2+ has 10 d electrons. ** Show more…
