A d-block element forms octahedral complex but its magnetic moment remains same either in strong fie — Coordination Compounds Chemistry Question
Question
A d-block element forms octahedral complex but its magnetic moment remains same either in strong field or in weak field ligand. Which of the following is/are correct?
Answer: B,C
💡 Solution & Explanation
Metal ions with d^3 and d^8 configurations have only one possible way to arrange electrons in an octahedral field regardless of ligand strength, resulting in a constant magnetic moment. In both cases (t2g^3 eg^0 and t2g^6 eg^2), the number of electrons in t2g is higher than in eg.
