Concept explainers
Interpretation: It is given that, the complex ion
Concept introduction: If a molecule contains unpaired electrons, then, it is said to be paramagnetic whereas if a molecule does not contain any unpaired electron, then, it is said to be diamagnetic.
Weak field ligand that has small crystal field splitting energy gives high spin due to presence of maximum unpaired electrons in lower energy
Strong field ligand that has large crystal field splitting energy gives low spin due to presence of maximum paired electrons in lower energy
To determine: The structure of complex ion
