Determination of Oxidation State in Complex:
For [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+:
x+4(0)+2(−1)=+1⟹x=+3
Co is in +3 oxidation state.
Magnetic Moment Formula:
μs=n(n+2) BM
For Fe3+ with CN− (low spin, d5 → 1 unpaired):
μ=1×3=3≈1.73 BM
For Fe3+ with F− (high spin, d5 → 5 unpaired):
μ=5×7=35≈5.92 BM
Crystal Field Splitting Relationship:
Δt=94Δo
CFSE for d6 low spin octahedral:
CFSE=6×(−0.4Δo)+0×(0.6Δo)=−2.4Δo
