  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

\(Fe^{3+}\) has \(3d^5\) configuration. For \(\left[ Fe \left( H _2 O \right)_6\right]^{3+}\): \(H_2O\) is a weak field ligand. Number of unpaired electrons, \(n=5\). \(\mu = \sqrt{n(n+2)} = \sqrt{5(5+2)} = \sqrt{35} \approx 5.92\) BM. For \(\left[ Fe ( CN )_6\right]^{3-}\):…
