The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of unpaired electrons present in both the cationic and anionic parts of the compound \( O_2[PtF_6] \), we will analyze each part separately. ### Step 1: Analyze the cation \( O_2^{+} \) 1. **Determine the total number of electrons in \( O_2 \)**: - Each oxygen atom has 8 electrons. Therefore, for \( O_2 \), the total number of electrons is: \[ 2 \times 8 = 16 \text{ electrons} \] 2. **Account for the positive charge**: - The \( O_2^{+} \) cation has lost one electron, so: \[ 16 - 1 = 15 \text{ electrons} \] 3. **Determine the electron configuration**: - The electron configuration for \( O_2 \) is \( (1s^2)(2s^2)(2p^4) \). - For \( O_2^{+} \), we remove one electron from the \( 2p \) orbital. Thus, the configuration becomes: \[ (1s^2)(2s^2)(2p^3) \] 4. **Count unpaired electrons**: - In the \( 2p^3 \) configuration, there are 3 electrons in the \( p \) orbitals, which can be represented as: \[ \uparrow \, \uparrow \, \uparrow \] - All three electrons are unpaired. Therefore, \( O_2^{+} \) has: \[ 1 \text{ unpaired electron} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the anion \( PtF_6^{-} \) 1. **Determine the oxidation state of platinum (Pt)**: - The oxidation state of \( Pt \) in \( PtF_6^{-} \) can be calculated as follows: \[ x + 6(-1) = -1 \implies x - 6 = -1 \implies x = +5 \] 2. **Determine the electron configuration of \( Pt \)**: - The electron configuration of neutral platinum (Pt) is: \[ [Xe] 4f^{14} 5d^9 6s^1 \] - In the +5 oxidation state, we remove 5 electrons (2 from \( 6s \) and 3 from \( 5d \)): \[ [Xe] 4f^{14} 5d^8 \] 3. **Count unpaired electrons in \( 5d^8 \)**: - The \( 5d^8 \) configuration can be visualized as: \[ \uparrow \, \uparrow \, \uparrow \, \uparrow \, \uparrow \, \downarrow \, \downarrow \, \downarrow \] - In this arrangement, there are 2 paired electrons and 6 unpaired electrons. Therefore, \( PtF_6^{-} \) has: \[ 5 \text{ unpaired electrons} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the total number of unpaired electrons - From \( O_2^{+} \): 1 unpaired electron - From \( PtF_6^{-} \): 5 unpaired electrons Thus, the total number of unpaired electrons in the compound \( O_2[PtF_6] \) is: \[ 1 + 5 = 6 \text{ unpaired electrons} \] ### Final Answer: The total number of unpaired electrons present in both the cationic and anionic parts of the compound \( O_2[PtF_6] \) is **6**. ---
