Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The given diagrams are to be labeled as low spin, high spin, or cannot tell with proper explanation.
Concept introduction: 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 label: The given diagram as low spin, high spins, or cannot tell with proper explanation.
