The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes shows maximum paramagnetism, we need to analyze the number of unpaired electrons in each complex. The more unpaired electrons a complex has, the more paramagnetic it is. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the complexes and their ligands**: - We have four complexes to analyze. Each complex contains different ligands which can affect the oxidation state of the central metal atom. 2. **Calculate the oxidation state of the central metal in each complex**: - **Complex 1**: Cobalt complex with oxalate, ammonia, and chloride. - Oxalate (C2O4) has a charge of -2, ammonia (NH3) is neutral (0), and chloride (Cl) has a charge of -1. - Let the oxidation state of cobalt be \( x \). - The equation becomes: \( x - 2 - 1 = 0 \) ⇒ \( x = +4 \). - **Complex 2**: Iron complex with ethylenediamine, pyridine, and ammonia. - All ligands are neutral. - Let the oxidation state of iron be \( y \). - The equation becomes: \( y = +2 \). - **Complex 3**: Platinum complex with glycine and triphenylphosphine. - Glycine has a charge of -1 and triphenylphosphine is neutral. - Let the oxidation state of platinum be \( z \). - The equation becomes: \( z - 1 = 0 \) ⇒ \( z = 0 \). - **Complex 4**: Titanium complex with water. - Water is neutral. - Let the oxidation state of titanium be \( w \). - The equation becomes: \( w = +3 \). 3. **Determine the electronic configuration of the metal in each oxidation state**: - **Cobalt in +4 state**: - Cobalt (Co) has an atomic number of 27, so its electronic configuration is \( [Ar] 3d^7 4s^2 \). - In +4 state, it loses 4 electrons (2 from 4s and 2 from 3d), resulting in \( 3d^5 \) configuration. - **Unpaired electrons**: 5. - **Iron in +2 state**: - Iron (Fe) has an atomic number of 26, so its electronic configuration is \( [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2 \). - In +2 state, it loses 2 electrons (both from 4s), resulting in \( 3d^6 \) configuration. - **Unpaired electrons**: 4. - **Platinum in 0 state**: - Platinum (Pt) has an atomic number of 78, so its electronic configuration is \( [Xe] 4f^{14} 5d^9 6s^1 \). - In 0 state, it retains all its electrons, resulting in \( 4d^8 5s^2 \) configuration. - **Unpaired electrons**: 2. - **Titanium in +3 state**: - Titanium (Ti) has an atomic number of 22, so its electronic configuration is \( [Ar] 3d^2 4s^2 \). - In +3 state, it loses 3 electrons (2 from 4s and 1 from 3d), resulting in \( 3d^1 \) configuration. - **Unpaired electrons**: 1. 4. **Compare the number of unpaired electrons**: - Complex 1 (Cobalt +4): 5 unpaired electrons. - Complex 2 (Iron +2): 4 unpaired electrons. - Complex 3 (Platinum 0): 2 unpaired electrons. - Complex 4 (Titanium +3): 1 unpaired electron. 5. **Conclusion**: - The complex with the maximum number of unpaired electrons is the cobalt complex with 5 unpaired electrons. Therefore, it shows the maximum paramagnetism. ### Final Answer: The complex that shows maximum paramagnetism is the **Cobalt complex** (Option 1).
