Question

Ist transition series are mainly high spin. Explain

Answer 1

Spin states when describing transition metalcoordination complexes refers to the potential spin configurations of the metal center's d electrons. In many these spin states vary between high-spin and low-spinconfigurations. These configurations can be understood through the two major models used to describe coordination complexes;crystal field theory and ligand field theory, which is a more advanced version based onmolecular orbital theory.
