The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of diamagnetic species among the given compounds, we need to analyze each compound to check if they have unpaired electrons in their electronic configurations. A species is considered diamagnetic if all its electrons are paired. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the oxidation state of the central atom in each compound:** - **K₄[Fe(CN)₆]:** - CN⁻ contributes -6, K⁺ contributes +4. - Therefore, Fe must be +2. - **K₃[Cr(CN)₆]:** - CN⁻ contributes -6, K⁺ contributes +3. - Therefore, Cr must be +3. - **K₃[Co(CN)₆]:** - CN⁻ contributes -6, K⁺ contributes +3. - Therefore, Co must be +3. - **K₂[Ni(CN)₄]:** - CN⁻ contributes -4, K⁺ contributes +2. - Therefore, Ni must be +2. - **[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺:** - NH₃ is neutral, so Co must be +3. - **K₂[TiF₆]:** - F⁻ contributes -6, K⁺ contributes +2. - Therefore, Ti must be +4. - **[Pt(NH₃)₄]²⁺:** - NH₃ is neutral, so Pt must be +2. 2. **Determine the electronic configuration of each central atom:** - **Fe²⁺ (26 electrons):** - Configuration: [Ar] 3d⁶ (4 unpaired electrons, paramagnetic) - **Cr³⁺ (24 electrons):** - Configuration: [Ar] 3d³ (3 unpaired electrons, paramagnetic) - **Co³⁺ (27 electrons):** - Configuration: [Ar] 3d⁶ (4 unpaired electrons, paramagnetic) - **Ni²⁺ (28 electrons):** - Configuration: [Ar] 3d⁸ (2 unpaired electrons, paramagnetic) - **Co³⁺ (from [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺):** - Configuration: [Ar] 3d⁶ (4 unpaired electrons, paramagnetic) - **Ti⁴⁺ (22 electrons):** - Configuration: [Ar] 3d⁰ (0 unpaired electrons, diamagnetic) - **Pt²⁺ (78 electrons):** - Configuration: [Xe] 4f¹⁴ 5d⁸ (2 unpaired electrons, paramagnetic) 3. **Count the number of diamagnetic species:** - From the analysis, only **K₂[TiF₆]** is diamagnetic (0 unpaired electrons). - All other species are paramagnetic due to the presence of unpaired electrons. ### Conclusion: The total number of diamagnetic species among the given compounds is **1** (K₂[TiF₆]).
