Question

in CFT only - orbitals of CMI are taken into consideration​

Answer 1

Answer:

Diamagnetic metal ions cannot have an odd number of electrons as their magnetic moment is zero.

Low spin complex may be paramagnetic if they have unpaired electron.

In high spin octahedral complex,

0

is less than the electron pairing energy and is relatively very small,

This is the reason why electron dont pair & move to upper d-orbitals.

In an octahedral crystal field, the d electrons of a metal ion occupy the t

2g

set of orbitals before they occupy the e

g

set of orbitals.
