Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Both 
and 
complexes are octahedral but differ in their magnetic behaviour.
Statement II: 
is diamagnetic whereas 
is paramagnetic.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsNOT AVAILABLE
Both 
and 
are octahedral complex because coordination number are six.
Electronic configuration of 
in 
is 
As 
is a strong ligand, so pairing takes place
No unpaired electron, so it is diamagnetic in nature Electronic configuration of 
in 
is 
hybridisation
As 
is a weak ligand no pairing takes place So, it is paramagnetic in nature.
