Question

Part A: Would you predict that [Fe(H2O)6]2+ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic?

A. Paramagnetic as it has 2 unpaired electrons

B. Diamagnetic as it has 4 unpaired electrons

C. Paramagnetic as it has 4 unpaired electrons

D. Paramagnetic as it has no unpaired electrons

E. Diamagnetic as it has no unpaired electrons

Part B: Would you predict that [Fe(NO2)6]4+ is paramagnetic or diamagnetic?

A. Paramagnetic as it has 4 unpaired electrons

B. Diamagnetic as it has 4 unpaired electrons

C. Diamagnetic as it has no unpaired electrons

D. Paramagnetic as it has 2 unpaired electrons

E. Paramagnetic as it has no unpaired electrons

C. Paramagnetic as it has 4 unpaired electrons

H2O is a weak field ligand, It has 4 unpaired electrons, it is a paramagnetic complex

Part B (I have whether it is [Fe(NO2)6]4+ or [Fe(NO2)6] 4-)

If it is [Fe(NO2)6]4-

C. Diamagnetic as it has no unpaired electrons

If it is [Fe(NO2)6]4+ There will be no electrons in d orbital.
