Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The number of unpaired electrons in the given complex ions is to be calculated.
Concept introduction: Weak field ligand that has small crystal field splitting energy gives high spin due to the presence of maximum unpaired electrons in lower energy
Strong field ligand that has large crystal field splitting energy gives low spin due to the presence of maximum paired electrons in lower energy
To determine: The number of unpaired electrons in
