The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are incorrect for the complex \([Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3\), we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Determine the oxidation state of chromium The complex is \([Cr(H_2O)_6]Cl_3\). The oxidation state of chromium (Cr) can be calculated as follows: Let the oxidation state of Cr be \(X\). The ligands \(H_2O\) are neutral, contributing 0 to the overall charge. The three chloride ions (Cl) have a charge of -1 each, contributing a total of -3. Setting up the equation: \[ X + 0 - 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad X = +3 \] **Hint:** Remember that neutral ligands do not affect the oxidation state, while anionic ligands contribute negatively. ### Step 2: Determine the electronic configuration of chromium in the +3 oxidation state The atomic number of chromium is 24. The ground state electronic configuration is: \[ [Ar] 3d^5 4s^1 \] In the +3 oxidation state, chromium loses 3 electrons (2 from 4s and 1 from 3d): \[ 3d^3 \] **Hint:** The electronic configuration changes with the loss of electrons, particularly from the 4s orbital before the 3d. ### Step 3: Determine the number of unpaired electrons Since \(H_2O\) is a weak field ligand, it does not cause pairing of electrons. For \(3d^3\), the distribution of electrons in the d-orbitals is: - \(d_{xy}^1\) - \(d_{yz}^1\) - \(d_{zx}^1\) Thus, there are 3 unpaired electrons. **Hint:** Weak field ligands lead to high spin configurations, meaning electrons will occupy different orbitals before pairing. ### Step 4: Calculate the magnetic moment The magnetic moment (\(\mu\)) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \mu = \sqrt{n(n + 2)} \] where \(n\) is the number of unpaired electrons. Here, \(n = 3\): \[ \mu = \sqrt{3(3 + 2)} = \sqrt{15} \approx 3.87 \text{ Bohr magneton} \] **Hint:** The magnetic moment indicates the presence of unpaired electrons; more unpaired electrons lead to a higher magnetic moment. ### Step 5: Analyze the statements 1. **Statement 1:** "It has a magnetic moment of 3.83 Bohr magneton." - This is **correct** as our calculation shows it is approximately 3.87 Bohr magneton. 2. **Statement 2:** "The distribution of 3d electrons in \(d_{xy}^1, d_{yz}^1, d_{zx}^1\)." - This is **correct** as we have established the distribution of the 3 unpaired electrons. 3. **Statement 3:** "The ligand has satisfied both primary and secondary valencies." - This is **incorrect**. The primary valency (oxidation state) is not satisfied by \(H_2O\) since it is a neutral ligand. 4. **Statement 4:** "It shows ionization as well as hydrate isomerism." - This is **incorrect**. The complex can show hydrate isomerism but not ionization isomerism because \(H_2O\) is neutral and does not allow for ion exchange. ### Conclusion The incorrect statements are 3 and 4.
