What can be inferred about the magnetic behavior of a complex with an octahedral geometry?

Options

  1. AOctahedral complexes are always diamagnetic.
  2. BOctahedral complexes are always paramagnetic.
  3. CMagnetic behavior depends on the specific ligands in the complex.
  4. DOctahedral complexes can be either diamagnetic or paramagnetic.

Correct answer

D. Octahedral complexes can be either diamagnetic or paramagnetic.

Step-by-step solution

The magnetic behavior of octahedral complexes can vary depending on the number of unpaired electrons, making them either diamagnetic or paramagnetic.
