Vedclass · Answer

(A) In both complexes, the central metal ion is $Fe^{3+}$. The electronic configuration of $Fe^{3+}$ is $[Ar] 3d^5$.For $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$: $CN^-$ is a strong field ligand, which causes pairing of electrons in the $3d$ orbitals. This results in one unpaired electron $(t_{2g}^5 e_g^0)$, making it paramagnetic.For $[FeF_6]^{3-}$: $F^-$ is a weak field ligand, which does not cause pairing of electrons. This results in five unpaired electrons $(t_{2g}^3 e_g^2)$, making it paramagnetic.Therefore, both complexes are paramagnetic.

The correct statement about the magnetic properties of $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$ and $[FeF_6]^{3-}$ is
