JEE Main 2015 · 11 Apr · Shift 1, Chemistry question 49

Which of the following complex ions has electrons that are symmetrically filled in both t2gt_{2g} and ege_g orbitals ?

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: D

[FeFX6]X3−\ce{[FeF6]^3-}: FeX3+\ce{Fe^3+} is d5d^5, and with the weak-field FX−\ce{F-} it is high spin, t2g3eg2t_{2g}^3e_g^2. Both sets are evenly (half) filled.

The others:

  • [CoFX6]X3−\ce{[CoF6]^3-} is t2g4eg2t_{2g}^4e_g^2.
  • [Co(NHX3)X6]X2+\ce{[Co(NH3)6]^2+} is t2g5eg2t_{2g}^5e_g^2.
  • [Mn(CN)X6]X4−\ce{[Mn(CN)6]^4-} is t2g5t_{2g}^5.
