When the paramagnetic [co(cn)6] 4– ion is oxidized to [co(cn)6] 3– , the ion becomes diamagnetic. however, when the paramagnetic

[co(ox)3] 4– is oxidized to [co(ox)3] 3– , the ion remains paramagnetic. here ‘ox' denotes a bidentate chelating ligand. explain these observations in detail using crystal field theory and crystal field splitting diagrams?

Answer:  
Basically, paramagnetic and diamagnetic refer to the way a chemical species interacts with a magnetic field. More specifically, it refers to whether or not a chemical species has any unpaired electrons or not. 
 A diamagnetic species has no unpaired electrons, while a paramagnetic species has one or more unpaired electrons. 
 Now, I won't go into too much detail about crystal field theory in general, since I assume that you're familiar with it. 
 So, you're dealing with the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion, [CoF6]3â’, and the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion, [Co(CN)6]3â’. 
 You know that [CoF6]3â’ is paramagnetic and that [Co(CN)6]3â’ is diamagnetic, which means that you're going to have to determine why the former ion has unpaired electrons and the latter does not. 
 Both complex ions contain the cobalt(III) cation, Co3+, which has the following electron configuration 
  Co3+:1s22s22p63s23p63d6 
 For an isolated cobalt(III) cation, all these five 3d-orbitals are degenerate. The thing to remember now is that the position of the ligand on the spectrochemical series will determine how these d-orbtals will split. 
 More specifically, you can say that 
  a strong field ligand will produce a more significant splitting energy, Δ  a weak field ligand will produce a less significant splitting energy, Δ 
 Now, the spectrochemical series looks like this 
 http://chemedu.pu.edu.tw/genchem/delement/9.htmhttp://chemedu.pu.edu.tw/genchem/delement/9.htm 
 Notice that the cyanide ion, CNâ’, is higher on the spectrochemical series than the fluoride ion, Fâ’. This means that the cyanide ion ligands will cause a more significant energy gap between the eg and t2g orbitals when compared with the fluoride ion ligands.

 In the case of the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion, the splitting energy is smaller than the electron pairing energy, and so it is energetically favorable to promote two electrons from the t2g orbitals to the eg orbitals → a high spin complex will be formed. 
 This will ensure that the hexafluorocobaltate(III) ion will have unpaired electrons, and thus be paramagnetic. 
 On the other hand, in the case of the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion, the splitting energy is higher than the electron pairing energy, and so it is energetically favorable to pair up those four electrons in the t2g orbitals → a low spin complex is formed. 
 Since it has no unpaired electrons, the hexacyanocobaltate(III) ion will be diamagnetic.

Choose two of the following scientists: Anton Lavoisier, John Dalton, JJ Thomson, Robert Millikan, Ernest Rutherford, James Chad
OverLord2011 [107]

Ernest Rutherford

J. J Thomson

Explanation:

<u>Ernest Rutherford</u>

In 1911, Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand chemist performed the gold foil experiment where he gave the modelling of the atom a boost.

 Experiment

 In his experiment, he bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles generated from a radioactive source. He found that most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil while a few of them were deflected back.

 Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

To account for his observation, Rutherford suggested an atomic model in which an atom has small positively charged center where nearly all the mass is concentrated.

<u>J. J Thomson</u>

Experiment

In 1897 J.J Thomson performed experiments using the gas discharge tube that led to the discovery of the electrons. He called them cathode rays because they originate from the cathode and exits at the anode.

Discovery and reflection on the atomic theory

From his experiment on the gas discharge tube, Thomson was able determine the properties of cathode rays some of which are:

  • they move in a straight line
  • they possess kinetic energy
  • they attract positive charges and repels negative charges

Using his observation, he proposed the plum pudding model of the atom where it is made up of entirely electrons.
