Question

For the octahedral complexes of Fe³⁺ in SCN⁻ (thiocyanato-S) and in CN⁻ ligand environments, the difference between the spin-only magnetic moments in Bohr magnetons (when approximated to the nearest integer) is ______ [Atomic number of Fe = 26].

Answer 1

For the octahedral complexes of Fe³⁺ in SCN⁻ (thiocyanato-S) and in CN⁻ ligand environments, the difference between the spin-only magnetic moments in Bohr magnetons (when approximated to the nearest integer) is 4 [Atomic number of Fe = 26].
