JEE Main 2005 — Coordination Compounds Question with Solution
From: AIEEE 2005
Question
Which one of the following cyano complexes would exhibit the lowest value of
paramagnetic behaviour?
(At. No. Cr = 24, Mn = 25, Fe = 26, Co = 27)
(At. No. Cr = 24, Mn = 25, Fe = 26, Co = 27)

Correct answer
D[Co(CN)6]-3
Step-by-step explanation
| No. of unpaired electron | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| a) | Co3+ | 0 | |
| b) | Fe3+ | 1 | |
| c) | Mn3+ | 2 | |
| d) | Cr3+ | 3 |
The effective magnetic moment is given by the number of unpaired electrons in a substance, the lesser the number of unpaired electrons lower is its magnetic moment in Bohr Magneton and lower shall be its paramagnetism
