Identify the magnetic nature of the complex from its electronic configuration as shown.(a) Strongly paramagnetic(b) Weakly paramagnetic(c) Diamagnetic(d) FerromagneticThe question was posed to me in a national level competition.The question is from Bonding in Coordination Compounds in section Coordination Compounds of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) Weakly paramagnetic

Best EXPLANATION: There is one unpaired ELECTRON in the 3d orbitals. The presence of unpaired electrons makes a complex paramagnetic. In this CASE, SINCE only 1 unpaired electron is present, it is a weak paramagnet.
