How do you determine the hybridisation of the central metal ion of a complex from its magnetic moment?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By calculating the number of unpaired electrons present in the central metal atom or ion from the magnetic moment `[mu=sqrt(nxx(n+2))]` we can determine the hybridisation of the central metal of a complex.
