Question

An aqueous solution of titanium chloride, when subjected to magnetic measurement, measured zero magnetic moment. Assuming the octahedral complex in aqueous solution, the formulae of the complex is, [ T i ( H 2 O ) 6 ] C l 2, [ T i ( H 2 O ) 6 ] C l 4, [ T i C l 2 ( H 2 O ) 3 ], [ T i C l 2 ( H 2 O ) 4 ]

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

[ T i ( H 2 O ) 6 ] C l 4 This complex has Coordination number 6 with weak ligands so it is an outer orbit complex with s p 3 d 2 -hybridisation and octahedral geometry. In it Ti is in +4 oxidations state so it has no unpaired electrons hence magnetic moment = 0 B.M.
