Answer : The electron configurations consistent with this fact is, (b) [Kr] 4d¹⁰
Explanation :
Electronic configuration : It is defined as the representation of electrons around the nucleus of an atom.
Number of electrons in an atom are determined by the electronic configuration.
Paramagnetic compounds : They have unpaired electrons.
Diamagnetic compounds : They have no unpaired electrons that means all are paired.
The given electron configurations of Palladium are:
(a) [Kr] 5s²4d⁸
In this, there are 2 electrons in 's' orbital and 8 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that 's' orbital are paired but 'd' orbital are not paired. So, this configuration shows paramagnetic.
(b) [Kr] 4d¹⁰
In this, there are 10 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that electrons in 'd' orbital are paired. So, this configuration shows diamagnetic.
(c) [Kr] 5s¹4d⁹
In this, there are 1 electron in 's' orbital and 9 electrons in 'd' orbital. From the partial orbital diagrams we conclude that 's' orbital and 'd' orbital are not paired. So, this configuration shows paramagnetic.
Answer:
1) the oxidation state of the metal is +2
2) there are four d electrons
3) metal valence electrons =4 ligand valence electrons= 18
4) sp^3d^2
5) octahedral geometry
Explanation:
[Cr(H2O)6]2+ is an octahedral complex. Octahedral complexes are known to have the metal ion in sp^3d^2 hybridization state. Since there are six ligands each bonding to the central metal ion, there are eighteen ligand valence electrons and four valence electrons from the metal present in the high spin complex.
The crystal field of high spin and low spin octahedral for a d4 ion is shown in the image attached.
