Describe for any two of the following complex ions, the type of hybridisation, shape and magnetic property : [Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+) |
|
Answer» Solution :`[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)` Electronic configuration of Fe : [AR] `4s^(2) 3d^(6)` Electronic configuration of `Fe^(2+) : [Ar] 4s^(0) 3d^(6)` `H_(2)O` is WEAK field ligand. It does not cause pairing of electrons. `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(2+)`  Electrons DONATED by the ligands It has `sp^(3)d^(2)` hybridisation with octahedral shape. It is PARAMAGNETIC due to the presence of unpaired electrons. |
