Atoms, ions or molecules having unpaired electrons are paramagnetic. In $${\left[ {Cr{{\left( {N{H_3}} \right)}_6}} \right]^{3 + }},Cr$$ is present as $$Cr\left( {{\text{III}}} \right).$$
$$C{r^{3 + }} = 1{s^2},2{s^2}2{p^6},3{s^2}3{p^6}3{d^3}$$
In excited state
Number of unpaired electrons =3, so it is paramagnetic while rest of the species are diamagnetic.

The correct structure of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is
275.
What are the correct oxidation state, coordination number, configuration, magnetic character and magnetic moment of $${K_4}\left[ {Mn{{\left( {CN} \right)}_6}} \right]?$$
$${\left[ {NiC{l_4}} \right]^{2 - }},O.S.$$ of $$Ni = + 2$$
$$Ni\left( {28} \right) = 3{d^8}4{s^2}$$
$$C{l^ - }$$ being weak ligand it cannot pair up the two electrons present in $$3d$$ orbital
No. of unpaired electrons $$= 2$$
Magnetic moment, $$\mu = 2.82\,BM.$$

$$CuS{O_4}$$ ecolourises on addition of $$KCN,$$ the product formed is
A
$$C{u^{2 + }}\,{\text{get}}\,{\text{reduced}}\,{\text{to}}\,{\text{form}}\,{\left[ {Cu{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{3 - }}$$
B
$${\left[ {Cu{{\left( {CN} \right)}_4}} \right]^{2 - }}$$
Number of donor atoms in $$N{\left( {C{H_2}C{H_2}N{H_2}} \right)_3}$$ is four hence it is a tetradentate ligand.

$$\left[ {NiC{l_2}{{\left\{ {P{{\left( {{C_2}{H_5}} \right)}_2}\left( {{C_6}{H_5}} \right)} \right\}}_2}} \right]$$ exhibits temperature dependent magnetic behaviour ( paramagnetic/ diamagnetic ). The coordination geometries of $$N{i^{2 + }}$$ in the paramagnetic and diamagnetic states are respectively
In both states ( paramagnetic and diamagnetic ) of the given complex, $$Ni$$ exists as $$N{i^{2 + }}$$ whose electronic configuration is $$\left[ {Ar} \right]3{d^8}4{s^0}.$$
In the above paramagnetic state, geometry of the complex is $$s{p^3}$$ giving tetrahedral geometry. The diamagnetic state is achieved by pairing of electrons in $$3d$$ orbital.
Thus the geometry of the complex will be $$ds{p^2}$$ giving square planar geometry.
