The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given complexes is diamagnetic, we need to analyze each complex based on the presence of unpaired electrons. A diamagnetic complex is one that has no unpaired electrons and is not attracted to a magnetic field. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Complexes**: The complexes given are: - \( \text{COOX}_3^{3-} \) and \( \text{FeCN}_6^{2-} \) - \( \text{COOX}_3^{3-} \) and \( \text{FeF}_6^{3-} \) - \( \text{FeOX}_3^{3-} \) and \( \text{FeF}_6^{-} \) - \( \text{FeCN}_6^{2-} \) and \( \text{COF}_6^{3-} \) 2. **Analyze the First Pair**: - **For \( \text{COOX}_3^{3-} \)**: - Oxidation state of Cobalt (Co): \[ X + 3(-2) = -3 \implies X = +3 \] - Electronic configuration of \( \text{Co}^{3+} \): \( \text{[Ar]} 3d^6 \) - Filling the orbitals (strong field ligand): - Electrons fill as: \( T_{2g}^6 \) (all paired). - **Conclusion**: No unpaired electrons → Diamagnetic. - **For \( \text{FeCN}_6^{2-} \)**: - Oxidation state of Iron (Fe): \[ X + 6(-1) = -2 \implies X = +4 \] - Electronic configuration of \( \text{Fe}^{4+} \): \( \text{[Ar]} 3d^4 \) - Filling the orbitals (strong field ligand): - Electrons fill as: \( T_{2g}^4 \) (one unpaired electron). - **Conclusion**: Unpaired electrons → Not diamagnetic. 3. **Analyze the Second Pair**: - **For \( \text{FeF}_6^{3-} \)**: - Oxidation state of Iron: \[ X + 6(-1) = -3 \implies X = +3 \] - Electronic configuration of \( \text{Fe}^{3+} \): \( \text{[Ar]} 3d^5 \) - Filling the orbitals (weak field ligand): - Electrons fill as: \( T_{2g}^3 \) and \( E_g^2 \) (all unpaired). - **Conclusion**: Unpaired electrons → Not diamagnetic. 4. **Analyze the Third Pair**: - **For \( \text{FeOX}_3^{3-} \)**: - Oxidation state of Iron: \[ X + 3(-2) = -3 \implies X = +3 \] - Electronic configuration of \( \text{Fe}^{3+} \): \( \text{[Ar]} 3d^5 \) - Filling the orbitals (strong field ligand): - Electrons fill as: \( T_{2g}^5 \) (one unpaired electron). - **Conclusion**: Unpaired electrons → Not diamagnetic. 5. **Analyze the Fourth Pair**: - **For \( \text{COF}_6^{3-} \)**: - Oxidation state of Cobalt: \[ X + 6(-1) = -3 \implies X = +3 \] - Electronic configuration of \( \text{Co}^{3+} \): \( \text{[Ar]} 3d^6 \) - Filling the orbitals (weak field ligand): - Electrons fill as: \( T_{2g}^6 \) (all paired). - **Conclusion**: No unpaired electrons → Diamagnetic. ### Final Conclusion: The only diamagnetic complex from the given options is \( \text{COOX}_3^{3-} \).
