Step-by-step solution

For a diamagnetic complex, there should not be any unpaired electron in the valence shell of central metral. In K3[Fe(CN)6]\mathrm{K}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{CN})_6\right], Fe (III) has d5d^5-configuration (odd electrons), hence it is paramagnetic. In [Co( \left.\left.\mathrm{NH}_3\right)_6\right] \mathrm{Cl}_3,Co(III)has, Co (III) hasd^6configurationinastrongligandfield,hencealltheelectronsarepairedandthecomplexisdiamagnetic.Inconfiguration in a strong ligand field, hence all the electrons are paired and the complex is diamagnetic. In\mathrm{Na}_3\left[\mathrm{Co}(\mathrm{ox})_3\right],,\mathrm{Co}(III)has(III) hasd^6−configurationandoxalatebeingachelatingligand,verystrongligandandallthesixelectronsremainspairedinlower-configuration and oxalate being a chelating ligand, very strong ligand and all the six electrons remains paired in lowert_{2 g}level,diamagnetic.In[Ni(H2O)6]Cl2,Nilevel, diamagnetic. In \left[\mathrm{Ni}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right] \mathrm{Cl}_2, \mathrm{Ni} (II) has 3d83 d^8-configuration and H2O\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} is a weak ligand hence Among the following complexes (K-P), K_3[Fe(CN)_6](K) , [. Co .(NH_3)_6] Cl_3(L), Na_3 [Co(ox)_3](M) , [Ni(H_2 O)_6]
In K2[Pt(CN)4]\mathrm{K}_2\left[\mathrm{Pt}(\mathrm{CN})_4\right], Pt (II) has d8d^8-configuration and CN−\mathrm{CN}^{-}is a strong ligand, hence all the eight electrons are spin-paired. Therefore, complex is diamagnetic. In [Zn(H2O)6](NO3)2,Zn\left[\mathrm{Zn}\left(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)_6\right]\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2, \mathrm{Zn} (II) has 3 d10{ }_3 \mathrm{~d}^{10} configuration spin paired, hence diamagnetic.
