Magnetic moment of [MnCl(4)]^(2-) is 5.9...

Magnetic moment of `[MnCl_(4)]^(2-)` is 5.92 BM. Give reason.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The magnetic moment 5.92 BM shows that there are five unpaired electrons present in the d-orbitals of `Mn^(2+)` ion. As a result, the hybridisation involved is `sp^(3)` rather than `dsp^(2)`. Thus, tetrahedral structure of `[MnCl_(4)]^(2-)` complex will show 5.92 Bm magnetic moment value.
