Explain the following :
`[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` is more paramagnetic than `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^(3+)` has 5 unpaired electrons while `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)` has one unpaired electron. Therefore, `[Fe(H_(2)O)_(6)]^( 3+)` is more paramagnetic than `[Fe(CN)_(6)]^(3-)`.
