Solution:
- As
is a weak field ligand. It readily forms high spin complexes. exist in +2 oxidation state. The arrangement of electrons in the given metal ions are as follows:
Metal ions |
Configuration | Number of unpaired electrons |
Spin only Magnetic moment (in BM) |
---|---|---|---|
3 | 3.9 | ||
4 | 4.9 | ||
4 | 4.9 | ||
5 | 5.9 | ||
3 | 3.9 |
Therefore,
