Answer: 4. (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii)

Key idea: find unpaired electrons \(n\) and use \(\mu=\sqrt{n(n+2)}\) BM.

  • (a) \(\mathrm{[Fe(CN)_6]^{3-}}\): \(\mathrm{Fe^{3+}}\) \(d^5\), strong field, low spin, n = 1: 1.73 BM (iv)
  • (b) \(\mathrm{[Fe(H_2O)_6]^{3+}}\): \(d^5\), weak field, n = 5: 5.92 BM (i)
  • (c) \(\mathrm{[Fe(CN)_6]^{4-}}\): \(\mathrm{Fe^{2+}}\) \(d^6\), low spin, n = 0: 0 BM (ii)
  • (d) \(\mathrm{[Fe(H_2O)_6]^{2+}}\): \(d^6\), high spin, n = 4: 4.90 BM (iii)

So (a)-(iv), (b)-(i), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iii).
