  1. A 1.74 BM and 5.92 respectively
  2. B 5.92 BM and 1.74 respectively
  3. C 1.74 BM for both
  4. D 5.92 BM for both
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 5.92 BM and 1.74 respectively

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For \([\\text{Fe}(\\text{H}_2\\text{O})_6]^{3+}\): \(\text{Fe}^{3+}\) is \(3d^5\). \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\) is a weak field ligand, so \(n=5\) unpaired electrons. \(\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} = \sqrt{5(5+2)} = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.92 \text{ BM}\) For \([\\text{Fe}(\\text{CN})_6]^{3-}\):…
