The correct order of spin only magnetic moments for the following complex ions is

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

MnBr42- is a tetrahedral complex. The electronic configuration Mn2+ise2t23 and it has 5 unpaired electrons.

μ=5(5+2)=35 B. M.

CoF63- is an octahedral complex and it is high spin complex. The electronic configuration of Co3+ is  t2g4eg2, it has 4 unpaired electrons

μ=4(4+2)=24 B.M. 

Mn(CN)63- is an octahedral complex and it is low spin complex. The electronic configuration Mn3+ is t2g4eg0 it has two unpaired electrons

μ=2(2+2)=8 B.M 

[Fe(CN)6]3- is an octahedral complex and it is low spin complex. The electronic configuration of Fe3+ is t2g5eg0 and it has one unpaired electron.

μ=1(1+2)=23 B.M 

Hence the correct answer is option 3
