[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+) is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-) is diamagnetic . Explainwhy?

Answer»

Solution :`Cr(24) : [Ar]4s^(1)3D^(5)`
`Cr^(3+)(24) : [Ar]4s^(0)3d^(5)`
`[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)`
It is PARAMAGNETIC DUE to the presence of unpaired electrons.

It has a square planar STRUCTURE, and it is diamagnetic due to the absence of unpaired electrons.
23.

[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+) is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-) is diamagnetic. Explain, why ?

Answer»

Solution :`[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` is paramagnetic.
The oxidation state of Cr in this complex is +3. Hence, we have
ELECTRONIC configuration of `Cr^(3+)`
`d^(2)sp^(3)` hybridisation

As NH3 is a weak LIGAND, pairing of electrons does not TAKE place. Hence, `d^(2)sp^(3)` hybridisation takes place forming inner complex with octahedral SHAPE. As there are three unpaired electrons, the compound is paramagnetic.
`[Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` is diamagnetic due to the absence of unpaired electrons.
