Question

Which of the following complexes will exhibit the highest degree of para magnetism ?
(A) [Cr(H20)]+
(B) [Fe(H20)]2+
(C) [Cu(H20)]2+
(D) [Zn(H20)]2+​

Answer 1

The correct answer is (B) [Fe(H20)]2+

Explanation:

• Para-magnetism is a term used in chemistry.

• This is related to magnetic properties induced in an object by application of a magnetic field.

• The direction in which the magnetic field is applied is very important as well.

• Compounds with such paramagnetic properties have electrons that are not paired.

• Rearrangement of these electrons takes place as a result of the magnetic field.

Answer 2

[Fe(H20)]2+ complexes will exhibit the highest degree of para magnetism
