1.

Explain the following : [Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) is more paramagnetic than [Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-).

Answer»

SOLUTION :`[FE(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` has 5 unpaired electrons while `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)` has ONE unpaired electron. Therefore, `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^( 3+)` is more paramagnetic than `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)`.
