Question

A complex containing Mn2+ and Br ion was found to have a magnetic moment of 5.92 BM. The probable formula and geometry of the complex is most likely to be :

Solution

Correct option is

[MnBr4]2–, tetrahedral

 

Since the complex has a magnetic moment 5.92 B.M. So it has 5 unpaired electrons. 

In Mn2+ the electronic configuration is 3d5 i.e.,

It will show sp3 hybridisation and geometry will be tetrahedral.
