For the octahedral complexes of Fe3+F{e}^{3 +} in SCN−SC{N}^{-} (thiocyanato-S) and in CN−C{N}^{-} ligand environments, the difference between the spin-only magnetic moments in Bohr magnetons (when approximated to the nearest integer) is
[Atomic number of Fe = 26]For the octahedral complexes of F e ^ 3 + in SC N ^ - (thiocyanato-S) and in C N ^ - ligand environments, theFor the octahedral complexes of F e ^ 3 + in SC N ^ - (thiocyanato-S) and in C N ^ - ligand environments, the

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

SCN−SC{N}^{-} is weak field effect (WFE) ligand whereas CN−C{N}^{-} is strong field effect (SFE) ligand.

For the octahedral complexes of F e ^ 3 + in SC N ^ - (thiocyanato-S) and in C N ^ - ligand environments, the
Spin only magnetic moment =5(5+2)=35BM= \sqrt{5 ( 5 + 2 )} = \sqrt{35}BM

For the octahedral complexes of F e ^ 3 + in SC N ^ - (thiocyanato-S) and in C N ^ - ligand environments, the
Spin only magnetic moment =1(1+2)=3BM= \sqrt{1 ( 1 + 2 )} = \sqrt{3}BM
Difference =35−3≃4= \sqrt{35} - \sqrt{3} ≃ 4
