Question:

The calculated spin-only magnetic moments (BM) of the anionic and cationic species of [Fe(H_2O)_6]₂ and [Fe(CN)₆], respectively, are:

2.84 and 5.92

4.9 and 0

0 and 4.9

0 and 5.92

Solution:

Correct option is A. 4.9 and 0
Solution:- (C) 0 and 4.9
Complex is [Fe(H₂O)₆]₂ [Fe(CN)₆]
Complex ion Configuration No. of unpaired electrons Magnetic moment
