Question

The difference between spin only magnetic moment values of  and  is

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Calculate the individual spin-only magnetic moments () for both complexes and find their difference.

Step 1: Analyze 
 () in a weak field () forms a high-spin complex ().
Number of unpaired electrons = 3.
.

Step 2: Analyze 
 () forms an inner orbital complex ().
Number of unpaired electrons = 3.
.

Step 3: Calculate difference
Difference = .
