Both are paramagnetic

Vedclass · Answer

(A) In both complexes,the oxidation state of $Fe$ is $+3$,which corresponds to a $d^5$ electronic configuration.For $[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}$,$CN^-$ is a strong field ligand,causing pairing of electrons. The configuration becomes $t_{2g}^5 e_g^0$,resulting in $1$ unpaired electron.For $[FeF_6]^{3-}$,$F^-$ is a weak field ligand,resulting in no pairing. The configuration is $t_{2g}^3 e_g^2$,resulting in $5$ unpaired electrons.Since both complexes contain unpaired electrons,both are paramagnetic.
