Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The diamagnetic and paramagnetic complexes from [MoCl6]3- and [Co(en)3]3+ needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Diamagnetic property of molecule is defined as that when the total spin of paired electrons is zero or when there are no unpaired electrons present in the molecule, whereas, the paramagnetic property of molecule occurs when there is a presence of unpaired electrons which results in the non-zero total spin.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of unpaired electron in a tetrahedral complex ion [CoCl4]2- is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Diamagnetic property of molecule is defined as that when the total spin of paired electrons is zero or when there are no unpaired electrons present in the molecule, whereas, the paramagnetic property of molecule occurs when there is a presence of unpaired electrons which results in the non-zero total spin.
