                    \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]C{{l}_{3}}\] (at. no. of Cr = 24) has a magnetic moment of 3.83 BM, the correct distribution of 3d electrons in die chromium of the complex is:

    A)                                                                                                             \[3d_{{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}^{1},\,3d_{{{z}^{2}}}^{1},\,3d_{xz}^{1}\]

    B)                  \[3d_{xy}^{1},\,3d_{{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}^{1},\,3d_{yz}^{1}\]

    C)                  \[3d_{xy}^{1},\,3d_{zy}^{1},\,3d_{xz}^{1}\]

    D)                  \[3d_{xy}^{1},\,3d_{yz}^{1},\,3d_{{{z}^{2}}}^{1}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Magnetic moment \[(\mu )=\sqrt{n(n+2)}\,BM\] or            \[3.83=\sqrt{n(n+2)}\,\]         or            \[3.83\times 3.83={{n}^{2}}+2n\]                 \[14.6689={{n}^{2}}+2n\]                 on solving this, we get n = 3                 Hence, number of unpaired electrons in d-sub-shell of penultimate shell of chromium (Cr = 24).                 So, the configuration of chromium ion is                 \[C{{r}^{3+}}\,=1{{s}^{2}},\,2{{s}^{2}}\,2{{p}^{6}},\,3{{s}^{2}}\,3{{p}^{6}}\,3{{d}^{3}}\]                 In \[[Cr{{({{H}_{2}}O)}_{6}}]C{{l}_{2}}\] oxidation state of Cr is +3) Hence, in \[3{{d}^{3}}\] the distribution of electrons                 \[3d_{xy}^{1},\,3d_{yz}^{1},\,3d_{zx}^{1},\,3d_{{{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}}^{0},3d_{{{z}^{2}}}^{0}\]
