The zero magnetic moment of octahedralis due to:a) Low spinNi(IV) comp...
Explanation:
In order to understand why the zero magnetic moment of octahedral K2NiF6 is due to a low spin d6 Ni(IV) complex, we need to analyze the electronic configuration and magnetic properties of the complex.
1. Electronic configuration of Ni(IV) in octahedral K2NiF6:
- The atomic number of Ni is 28, which means it has 28 electrons.
- In K2NiF6, each K+ ion donates one electron, resulting in a total of 2 electrons.
- Each F- ion accepts one electron, resulting in a total of 6 electrons.
- Therefore, the Ni(IV) ion has a total of 28 - 2 - 6 = 20 electrons.
2. Determining the electronic configuration:
- The electronic configuration of Ni(IV) is [Ar] 3d6.
- In an octahedral complex, the d-orbitals split into two sets of energy levels: the lower energy t2g set (dxy, dyz, dzx) and the higher energy eg set (dz2, dx2-y2).
- The electron configuration of Ni(IV) in an octahedral complex can be represented as t2g6 eg0.
3. Determining the spin state:
- The spin state of a complex is dependent on the number of unpaired electrons.
- In a low spin complex, electrons are paired up in the t2g orbitals before populating the eg orbitals.
- In a high spin complex, electrons are first placed in the eg orbitals, leading to unpaired electrons in the t2g orbitals.
- In the case of K2NiF6, since there are 6 electrons in the t2g orbitals, all the orbitals are filled, resulting in a low spin state with zero unpaired electrons.
4. Magnetic moment:
- The magnetic moment of a complex is a measure of the strength of its magnetic field.
- When there are unpaired electrons, the complex has a non-zero magnetic moment due to the presence of magnetic interactions between the electrons.
- In the case of K2NiF6, since there are zero unpaired electrons, the magnetic interactions are canceled out, leading to a zero magnetic moment.
Conclusion:
The zero magnetic moment of octahedral K2NiF6 is due to the low spin d6 Ni(IV) complex, where all the electrons are paired up in the t2g orbitals, resulting in a cancellation of magnetic interactions and a zero magnetic moment.
