Match Column-I with Column-II. Columns I and II represent complexes and magnetic moment (BM) respectively.
Column-I (a) (b) (c) (d)
Column-II (i) 5.92 BM (ii) 0 BM (iii) 4.90 BM (iv) 1.73 BM
(a)-(i), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii)
(a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)
(a)-(iv), (b)-(ii), (c)-(i), (d)-(iii)
(a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(i)
The magnetic moment () is calculated using the 'spin-only' formula: BM, where is the number of unpaired electrons.
(a) : is in +3 oxidation state (). Since is a strong field ligand, electrons pair up, giving a low spin configuration. Number of unpaired electrons () = 1. BM. (b) : is in +3 oxidation state (). Since is a weak field ligand, electrons do not pair up, giving a high spin configuration. Number of unpaired electrons () = 5. BM. (c) : is in +2 oxidation state (). Since is a strong field ligand, electrons pair up completely, giving a low spin configuration. Number of unpaired electrons () = 0. BM. (d) : is in +2 oxidation state (). Since is a weak field ligand, electrons do not pair up, giving a high spin configuration. Number of unpaired electrons () = 4. BM.
Therefore, the correct match is (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii).
