Explain why [Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+) has magnetic moment value of 5.92 BM whereas [Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-) has a value of only 1.74 BM. |

Answer» Solution :Both have `Fe^(3+)(3d^(5)=3d^(1)3d^(1)3d^(1)3d^(1)3d^(1)).H_(2)O` is WEAK LIGAND. ELECTRONS do not pair up. Hybridisation is `sp^(3)d^(2)`. As `n=5, mu=sqrt(5(5+2))=5.92BM` `CN^(-)` is a strong ligand. Electrons pair up to give `3d^(2)3d^(2)3d^(1)3d^(0)3d^(0)` Hybridisation is `d^(2)sp^(3)`. As `n=1, mu=sqrt(1(1+2))=1.73 BM` |
