Question 1 of 4

The magnetic moment of [Fe(CN)6]3−[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-} complex ion according to spin-only formula is approximately:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) 1.73 BM1.73\,\text{BM}

Fe3+Fe^{3+} is 3d53d^5. Since CN−CN^- is strong field ligand, pairing occurs: t2g5eg0t_{2g}^5 e_g^0, giving 1 unpaired electron (n=1n=1). μ=1(1+2)=3≈1.73 BM\mu = \sqrt{1(1+2)} = \sqrt{3} \approx 1.73\,\text{BM}.
