(c)
(d)
Show Answer
Solution:
- The magnetic moment of the magnitude 5.9 BM suggest the presence of 5 unpaired electrons in
. This can be cross verified by putting the value (5) of unpaired electrons in the formula, BM
Thus, the valence electronic configuration of
The octahedral homoleptic complex suggests
Thus, 5 unpaired electrons are present in the complex which suggest the presence of a weak ligand like
