Question
Draw the energy diagram for d-orbital electron configuration in the octahedral field for each of the following complex ions. Indicate whether the ion is paramagnetic or diamagnetic:
(a) [Cr(H2O)6]3+ (H2O is a weak-field ligand)
(b) [Cr(NH3)6]3+ (NH3 is a strong-field ligand)
(c) [CoF6]3– (F– is a weak-field ligand)
(d) [Co(CN)6]3– (CN– is a strong-field ligand)
(e) [Ni(H2O)6]2+ (H2O is a weak-field ligand)
(f) [Ni(en)3]2+ (en is a strong-field ligand)
