उत्तर १

In both [Fe(H2O)6]3+ and [Fe(CN)6]3− Fe exists in the +3 oxidation state i.e., in d5 configuration.

Since CN is a strong field ligand, it causes the pairing of unpaired electrons. Therefore, there is only one unpaired electron left in the d-orbital.

∴ μ = `sqrt(n(n+2))`

= `sqrt(1(1+2))`

= `sqrt3`

= 1.732 BM

On the other hand, H2O is a weak field ligand. Therefore, it cannot cause the pairing of electrons. This means that the number of unpaired electrons is 5.

∴ μ = `sqrt(n(n+2))`

= `sqrt(5(5+2))`

= `sqrt35`

= 6 BM

Thus it is evident that [Fe(H2O)6]3+ is strongly paramagnetic, while [Fe(CN)6]3− is weakly paramagnetic.

उत्तर २

In the presence of CN (strong field ligand), the 3d-electrons pair up leaving only one unpaired electron. An inner orbital complex with d2sp3 hybridisation is formed. Hence, [Fe(CN)6]3− is weak paramagnetic. In the presence of HO (weak field ligand), the 3d-electrons are not paired, i.e., the hybridisation is sp3 which forms an outer orbital complex having five unpaired electrons; hence, [Fe(H2O)6]3+ is strong paramagnetic.
