Medium MCQ +4 / -1 PYQ · JEE Mains 2025

The conditions and consequence that favours the $t_{2 \mathrm{~g}}{ }^3 \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}{ }^1$ configuration in a metal complex are :

  1. A strong field ligand, low spin complex
  2. B strong field ligand, high spin complex
  3. C weak field ligand, high spin complex Correct answer
  4. D weak field ligand, low spin complex

Solution

<p>For $3 d^4$</p> <p>If ligand is SFL : $\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}{ }^4 \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}{ }^0 \quad$ (Low spin)</p> <p>If ligand is WFL : $\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}{ }^3 \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}{ }^1$ (High spin)</p>
