The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the complex ion \([Mn(CN)_6]^{3-}\), we need to analyze its properties step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of manganese (Mn). 1. Let the oxidation state of manganese be \(X\). 2. Each cyanide ion (CN) has a charge of \(-1\). Since there are 6 cyanide ions, their total contribution to the charge is \(-6\). 3. The overall charge of the complex is \(-3\). 4. Set up the equation based on the charges: \[ X + (-6) = -3 \] 5. Solving for \(X\): \[ X - 6 = -3 \implies X = -3 + 6 = +3 \] Thus, the oxidation state of manganese in \([Mn(CN)_6]^{3-}\) is \(+3\). ### Step 2: Determine the electronic configuration of \(Mn^{3+}\). 1. The atomic number of manganese (Mn) is 25, and its ground state electronic configuration is: \[ [Ar] 3d^5 4s^2 \] 2. For \(Mn^{3+}\), we need to remove 3 electrons. The electrons are removed first from the 4s and then from the 3d subshell: \[ Mn^{3+} \rightarrow [Ar] 3d^4 \] ### Step 3: Analyze the coordination environment. 1. The complex \([Mn(CN)_6]^{3-}\) is octahedral because it has six ligands (CN). 2. Cyanide (CN) is a strong field ligand, which causes significant splitting of the d-orbitals. ### Step 4: Determine the splitting of d-orbitals and electron filling. 1. In an octahedral field, the 3d orbitals split into two sets: \(t_{2g}\) (lower energy) and \(e_g\) (higher energy). 2. For \(Mn^{3+}\) with \(3d^4\): - The first three electrons will fill the \(t_{2g}\) orbitals singly (due to Hund's rule). - The fourth electron will pair up in one of the \(t_{2g}\) orbitals because CN is a strong field ligand. 3. Thus, the electron configuration in the crystal field will be: - \(t_{2g}^4\) and \(e_g^0\). ### Step 5: Determine hybridization. 1. The hybridization for \([Mn(CN)_6]^{3-}\) can be determined by the number of orbitals involved: - Since we have 4 electrons in \(t_{2g}\) and the complex is octahedral, the hybridization is \(d^2sp^3\). ### Step 6: Determine the magnetic properties. 1. Since there are 2 unpaired electrons in the \(t_{2g}\) orbitals, the complex is paramagnetic. 2. The magnetic moment can be calculated using the formula: \[ \mu = \sqrt{n(n + 2)} \] where \(n\) is the number of unpaired electrons. 3. For \(n = 2\): \[ \mu = \sqrt{2(2 + 2)} = \sqrt{8} = 2.83 \text{ (approximately)} \] ### Conclusion: The correct statements regarding \([Mn(CN)_6]^{3-}\) are: - The oxidation state of manganese is \(+3\). - The hybridization is \(d^2sp^3\). - It is an inner orbital complex. - It is paramagnetic with a magnetic moment of approximately \(2.83 \, \mu_B\).
