In octahedral complex with d⁵ metal and strong field ligand, magnetic moment:
A2.83
B5.92 BM
C1.73 BM (low spin: t₂g⁵ → 1 unpaired)
DZero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 1.73 BM (low spin: t₂g⁵ → 1 unpaired)
d⁵ strong field: low spin t₂g⁵ e_g⁰. 1 unpaired e⁻.
We have μ = sqrt(1 × 3).
So μ = sqrt(3) ≈ 1.73 BM.
