- Experiments show that K4[Cr(CN)6] is paramagnetic and has two unpaired electrons. The related complex K4[Cr(SCN)6] is paramagnetic and has four unpaired electrons. Account for the magnetism of each compound using the ligand field model. Predict where the SCN ion occurs in the spectro-chemical series relative to CN.arrow_forwardGive the number of unpaired electrons in octahedral complexes with strong-field ligands for (a) Rh3+ (b) Mn3+ (c) Ag+ (d) Pt4+ (e) Au3+arrow_forward
