Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why `[Fe(H₂O)₆]^(3+)` is strongly paramagnetic while `[Fe(CN)₆]^(3-)` is weakly paramagnetic, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the oxidation state of iron in both complexes. - For `[Fe(H₂O)₆]^(3+)`, the oxidation state of iron (Fe) is +3. - For `[Fe(CN)₆]^(3-)`, the oxidation state of iron is also +3. ### Step 2: Determine the electron configuration of Fe³⁺. - The electron configuration of neutral iron (Fe) is `[Ar] 3d^6 4s^2`. ...
