Correct Answer: 1
Approach Solution - 1
Step 1: Understanding Diamagnetism
- A species is diamagnetic if all its electrons are paired.
- Transition metal complexes can be classified based on their ligand field strength and electronic configuration.
Step 2: Electronic Configurations of the Metal Ions
- Mn3+: [Ar] 3d4
- Fe3+: [Ar] 3d5
- Co3+: [Ar] 3d6
Step 3: Determining the Magnetic Properties of Each Complex
- [Mn(NH3)6]3+ (NH3 is a weak field ligand, high-spin d4 configuration) → Paramagnetic
- [MnCl6]3− (Cl- is a weak field ligand, high-spin d4 configuration) → Paramagnetic
- [FeF6]3− (F- is a weak field ligand, high-spin d5 configuration) → Paramagnetic
- [CoF6]3− (F- is a weak field ligand, high-spin d6 configuration) → Paramagnetic
- [Fe(NH3)6]3+ (NH3 is a weak field ligand, high-spin d5 configuration) → Paramagnetic
- [Co(en)3]3+ (en is a strong field ligand, low-spin d6 configuration) → Diamagnetic
Step 4: Conclusion
- Only [Co(en)3]3+ is diamagnetic.
- Total number of diamagnetic species = 1.
Approach Solution -2
To solve the problem, determine the number of diamagnetic species among the given complexes by analyzing their oxidation states, d-electron counts, ligand field strengths, and spin states.
Given complexes:
1. \([Mn(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\)
2. \([MnCl_6]^{3-}\)
3. \([FeF_6]^{3-}\)
4. \([CoF_6]^{3-}\)
5. \([Fe(NH_3)_6]^{3+}\)
6. \([Co(en)_3]^{3+}\)
Step 1: Determine metal oxidation state and d-electron count
| Complex | Metal | Oxidation State | d-electrons (dn) | Ligand Field Strength |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [Mn(NH3)6]3+ | Mn (25) | +3 | d4 | NH3 (strong field) |
| [MnCl6]3− | Mn | +3 | d4 | Cl− (weak field) |
| [FeF6]3− | Fe (26) | +3 | d5 | F− (weak field) |
| [CoF6]3− | Co (27) | +3 | d6 | F− (weak field) |
| [Fe(NH3)6]3+ | Fe | +3 | d5 | NH3 (strong field) |
| [Co(en)3]3+ | Co | +3 | d6 | en (strong field) |
Step 2: Determine spin states and diamagnetism
- Diamagnetic means all electrons paired.
- [Mn(NH3)6]3+: d4 strong field → likely low spin → 2 unpaired electrons → paramagnetic
- [MnCl6]3−: d4 weak field → high spin → 4 unpaired electrons → paramagnetic
- [FeF6]3−: d5 weak field → high spin → 5 unpaired electrons → paramagnetic
- [CoF6]3−: d6 weak field → high spin → 4 unpaired electrons → paramagnetic
- [Fe(NH3)6]3+: d5 strong field → low spin → 1 unpaired electron → paramagnetic
- [Co(en)3]3+: d6 strong field → low spin → all electrons paired → diamagnetic
Step 3: Count diamagnetic species
Only <\(Co(en)_3]^{3+}\) is diamagnetic.
Final Answer:
\[ \boxed{1} \]

Questions Asked in JEE Advanced exam
The center of a disk of radius $ r $ and mass $ m $ is attached to a spring of spring constant $ k $, inside a ring of radius $ R>r $ as shown in the figure. The other end of the spring is attached on the periphery of the ring. Both the ring and the disk are in the same vertical plane. The disk can only roll along the inside periphery of the ring, without slipping. The spring can only be stretched or compressed along the periphery of the ring, following Hooke’s law. In equilibrium, the disk is at the bottom of the ring. Assuming small displacement of the disc, the time period of oscillation of center of mass of the disk is written as $ T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega} $. The correct expression for $ \omega $ is ( $ g $ is the acceleration due to gravity):
