Hence, a number of unpaired electrons in d- subshell of the penultimate shell of chromium (Cr = 24).
so, the configuration of chromium ion is 
Cr3+ = 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6 3d3
In [Cr(H2O)6]Cl2 oxidation state of Cr is +3
Hence in 3d3 the distribution of electrons
3 straight d subscript xy superscript 1 comma space 3 straight d subscript yz superscript 1 comma space 3 straight d subscript zx superscript 1 comma space 3 straight d subscript straight x squared minus straight y squared end subscript superscript 0 comma space 3 straight d subscript straight z squared end subscript superscript 0

Among the following complexes, the one which shows zero crystal field stabilisation energy (CFSE) is

  • [Mn(H2O)6]3+

  • [Fe(H2O)6]3+

  • [Co(H2O)6]3+

  • [Co(H2O)]3+

Solution

B.

[Fe(H2O)6]3+

The CFSE for octahedral complex is given by
CFSE = [-0.4 t2g e- +0.6 ege-]
For Mn3+, [3d4]--> t2g3e1g
therefore,
CFSE = [-0.4 x 3 + 0.6 x1]

=-0.6
For Fe3+, [3d] --> t2g3e2g
CFSE = [(-0.4 x 3) + (0.6 x2)] = 0
For Co2+, [3d7] --> t2g5e2g 
CFSE = [(-0.4 x 5) + (0.6 x2)] =-0.8
For Co3+, [3d6] ---> t2g4e2g 

CFSE = [(-0.4 x4) + (0.6 x2)] = -0.4
