Homolytic fission of a covalent bond leads to the formation of neutral species which contain an unpaired electron called free radicals

Valence bond theory successfully explains the magnetic behaviour of complexes. The substances which contains unpaired electrons are paramagnetic and paramagnetic character increases as the number of unpaired electrons increases. Magnetic moment of a complex can be determined experimentally and by using formula sqrt(n(n+2)) and we can determine the number of unpaired electrons in it. This information is important in writing electronic structure of complex which in turn also useful in deciding the geometry of complex. Which of the following are diamagnetic ? 1) K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)] 2) K_(3)[Cr(CN)_(6)] 3) K_(3)[Co(CN)_(6)] 4) K_(2)[Ni(CN)_(4)]

The substances which contain species with unpaired electrons in their orbitals behave as paramagnetic substances. Such substances are weakly attracted by the magnetic field. The paramagnetism is expressed in terms of magneticmoment The magnetic moment is related to the number of unpaired electrons according to the following relation : Magnetic moment, mu = sqrt(n(n+2)) B.M. Where ‘n’ = number of unpaired electrons. B.M stands for Bohr magneton, a unit of magnetic moment. Which of the following has the highest magnetic moment ?
