Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Strategy:
 Identify the active complexed metal inside Fehling's reagent, find its d-electron count, and compute its spin-only magnetic moment.

Step 1: Identify the complex
Fehling's solution contains a deep blue complex of Copper(II) stabilized by tartrate ions. The active species is a  tartrate complex.

Step 2: Determine electrons
 has a  electron configuration.
A  system consists of four completely paired sets and exactly one unpaired electron in the highest orbital (), irrespective of ligan
