The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) provided in the question regarding the coordination compounds \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) and \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \). ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion The assertion states that \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) and \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \) have different magnetic moments. 1. **Determine the oxidation state of iron in \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \)**: - The complex ion has a charge of -4 (from 4 K\(^+\) ions). - Let the oxidation state of Fe be \( x \). - The equation becomes: \[ x + 6(-1) = -4 \implies x - 6 = -4 \implies x = +2 \] - Thus, Fe is in the +2 oxidation state. 2. **Electron configuration of \( Fe^{2+} \)**: - The electron configuration of Fe is \( [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2 \). - For \( Fe^{2+} \), it loses 2 electrons (from 4s), leading to: \[ [Ar] 3d^6 4s^0 \] 3. **Determine the number of unpaired electrons**: - In the presence of strong field ligands (like CN\(^-\)), the electrons will pair up. - The configuration will be \( (↑↓)(↑↓)(↑↓)(↑)(↑) \) in the 3d subshell. - Therefore, there are **0 unpaired electrons**. 4. **Magnetic moment calculation**: - The magnetic moment \( \mu \) is calculated using the formula: \[ \mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} \] - Where \( n \) is the number of unpaired electrons. Here, \( n = 0 \): \[ \mu = \sqrt{0(0+2)} = 0 \text{ Bohr magneton} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the Second Coordination Compound Now, we analyze \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \). 1. **Determine the oxidation state of iron in \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \)**: - The complex ion has a charge of -3 (from 3 K\(^+\) ions). - Let the oxidation state of Fe be \( x \). - The equation becomes: \[ x + 6(-1) = -3 \implies x - 6 = -3 \implies x = +3 \] - Thus, Fe is in the +3 oxidation state. 2. **Electron configuration of \( Fe^{3+} \)**: - The electron configuration of Fe is \( [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2 \). - For \( Fe^{3+} \), it loses 3 electrons (2 from 4s and 1 from 3d), leading to: \[ [Ar] 3d^5 4s^0 \] 3. **Determine the number of unpaired electrons**: - In the presence of strong field ligands (like CN\(^-\)), the electrons will also pair up. - The configuration will be \( (↑)(↑)(↑)(↑)(↑) \) in the 3d subshell. - Therefore, there is **1 unpaired electron**. 4. **Magnetic moment calculation**: - Using the formula: \[ \mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} \] - Where \( n = 1 \): \[ \mu = \sqrt{1(1+2)} = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.73 \text{ Bohr magneton} \] ### Conclusion - \( K_4[Fe(CN)_6] \) has a magnetic moment of 0 Bohr magneton (diamagnetic) due to 0 unpaired electrons. - \( K_3[Fe(CN)_6] \) has a magnetic moment of approximately 1.73 Bohr magneton (paramagnetic) due to 1 unpaired electron. - Therefore, the assertion is true, and the reason is also true, as it correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer The correct option is **1**: Both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
