The correct Answer is:
To determine which species is diamagnetic, we need to analyze the electronic configurations of the given coordination compounds and check for the presence of unpaired electrons. A diamagnetic species has all its electrons paired, while a paramagnetic species has unpaired electrons. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Diamagnetism**: - Diamagnetic substances have all their electrons paired. This occurs in complexes with strong field ligands that cause electron pairing. 2. **Identify the Coordination Compounds**: - We will analyze the given coordination compounds one by one. The options provided in the question are not specified, but we will assume common examples like [Co(NH3)6]³⁺, [Ni(NH3)6]²⁺, etc. 3. **Analyze [Co(NH3)6]³⁺**: - **Determine Oxidation State**: - Let the oxidation state of Co be \( x \). - Since NH3 is a neutral ligand, the charge of the complex is +3. - Thus, \( x + 0 = +3 \) → \( x = +3 \). - **Electronic Configuration**: - Cobalt in the +3 oxidation state has the configuration of Argon (Ar) and 3d⁶ (4s is empty). - **Electron Pairing**: - In the presence of strong field ligands like NH3, the 3d electrons will pair up. - The configuration will be: \( \uparrow\downarrow \, \uparrow\downarrow \, \uparrow\downarrow \) (6 paired electrons). - **Magnetic Nature**: - Since all electrons are paired, [Co(NH3)6]³⁺ is **diamagnetic**. 4. **Analyze [Ni(NH3)6]²⁺**: - **Determine Oxidation State**: - Let the oxidation state of Ni be \( y \). - The charge of the complex is +2. - Thus, \( y + 0 = +2 \) → \( y = +2 \). - **Electronic Configuration**: - Nickel in the +2 oxidation state has the configuration of Argon (Ar) and 3d⁸ (4s is empty). - **Electron Pairing**: - In the presence of strong field ligands, the 3d electrons will also pair up. - The configuration will be: \( \uparrow\downarrow \, \uparrow\downarrow \, \uparrow\downarrow \, \uparrow \) (2 unpaired electrons remain). - **Magnetic Nature**: - Since there are unpaired electrons, [Ni(NH3)6]²⁺ is **paramagnetic**. 5. **Conclusion**: - After analyzing the two complexes, we conclude that [Co(NH3)6]³⁺ is the only diamagnetic species among the given options. ### Final Answer: The diamagnetic species is [Co(NH3)6]³⁺.
