The correct order of magnetic moments (spin only values in BM) among the following is (At. nos.\[Mn=25,\text{ }Fe=26,\text{ }Co=27\])

A) \[{{[MnC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}>{{[CoC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}>{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}\]

B) \[{{[MnC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}>{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}>{{[CoC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

C) \[{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}>{{[MnC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}>{{[CoC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

D) \[{{[Fe{{(CN)}_{6}}]}^{4-}}>{{[CoC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}>{{[MnC{{l}_{4}}]}^{2-}}\]

Correct Answer: A

Solution :

As in Q. 124, number of unpaired electrons in is zero. Thus, magnetic moment (n = unpaired electrons)
