Which one of the following ions exhibits d-d transition and paramagnetism as well?
MnO
CrO
CrO
To solve this problem, we need to identify the ion that exhibits both d-d transition and paramagnetism.Let's analyze each option:• Option 1: - In manganese is in the +7 oxidation state. - The electronic configuration of Mn in this state is - Since there are no d-electrons, d-d transitions are not possible, and it is diamagnetic.• Option 2: - In chromium is in the +6 oxidation state. - The electronic configuration of Cr in this state is - Similar to MnO_4^-, there are no d-electrons, so no d-d transitions, and it is diamagnetic.• Option 3: - In chromium is also in the +6 oxidation state. - The electronic configuration is so no d-d transitions, and it is diamagnetic.• Option 4: - In manganese is in the +6 oxidation state. - The electronic configuration of Mn in this state is - With one d-electron, d-d transitions are possible, and it is paramagnetic due to the unpaired electron.Therefore, the correct option is Option 4, as exhibits both d-d transition and paramagnetism.
