Would you expect the mg3[cr(cn)6]2 to be diamagnetic or paramagnetic? explain your reasoning.

paramagnetic

Explanation:

The complex ion is : [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻

Oxidation state of Cr in [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻ is:

x + (-1)6 = -3

x = +3

CN⁻ is a strong field ligand which can result in  pairing of the electrons.

The electronic configuration of Cr is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵4s¹

The electronic configuration of Cr³⁺ is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d³

These 3 electrons will be singly present in the 3 degenerate t₂g orbitals and per Hund's rule, pairing will not occur in the same level energy orbitals. So , no. of unpaired electrons will be 3 and the complex will be paramagnetic.

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.

is there any options? maybe im just not seeing them but i need the options to
