`[Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` is paramagnetic while `[Ni(CN)_(4))]^(2-)` is diamagnetic Why ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`rarr [Cr(NH_(3))_(6)]^(3+)` is paramagnetic due to the presence of three unpaired electrons.
`rarr [Ni(CN)_(4)]^(2-)` is diamagnetic due to the absence of unpaired electrons.
