The correct Answer is:
To determine why the complex `[Mn(CO)₄NO]` is diamagnetic, we need to analyze the oxidation state of manganese (Mn) in the complex and the electronic configurations of the involved species. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of Mn in the complex.** - The complex is `[Mn(CO)₄NO]`. - Carbon monoxide (CO) is a neutral ligand, contributing 0 to the oxidation state. - The nitrosyl (NO) ligand can be considered as neutral or as a negative ligand depending on its bonding. In this case, we will consider it as a neutral ligand for simplicity. - Let the oxidation state of Mn be \( x \). - The overall charge of the complex is neutral, so: \[ x + 0 + 0 = 0 \implies x = 0 \] - Thus, Mn is in the 0 oxidation state. **Step 2: Determine the electron configuration of Mn in the 0 oxidation state.** - The atomic number of Mn is 25, so its electron configuration is: \[ [Ar] 4s^2 3d^5 \] **Step 3: Analyze the effect of ligands on the electron configuration.** - CO is a strong field ligand and will cause pairing of the electrons in the d-orbitals. - In the presence of 4 CO ligands, the configuration will change due to pairing: - The 4s orbital will lose its electrons first, and the 3d electrons will pair up. - The new configuration will be: \[ 3d^6 \quad (all \, paired) \] **Step 4: Determine the magnetic properties of the complex.** - A species is diamagnetic if all its electrons are paired. - Since the new electron configuration of Mn in the complex is \( 3d^6 \) with all paired electrons, the complex `[Mn(CO)₄NO]` is diamagnetic. **Step 5: Verify the electronic configuration of CO and NO.** - CO is neutral and has a total of 14 electrons (6 from C and 8 from O), and it is also diamagnetic. - For NO, when considered as a neutral ligand, it has 15 electrons (7 from N and 8 from O), which makes it paramagnetic. However, in this complex, it behaves as a neutral ligand contributing to the overall diamagnetism. ### Conclusion: The complex `[Mn(CO)₄NO]` is diamagnetic because: - Mn is in the 0 oxidation state and has a \( 3d^6 \) configuration with all paired electrons due to the strong field ligand CO.
