Given below are two statements:Statement I: Both and complexes are octahedral but differ in their magnetic behavior.Statement II: is diamagnetic, whereas is paramagnetic.
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are false
- BStatement I is true but Statement II is false
- CStatement I is false but Statement II is true
- DBoth Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
1. Both have coordination number 6, hence octahedral geometry.2. In , is a strong field ligand, causing pairing in . Configuration: . (Diamagnetic).3. In , is a weak field ligand. No pairing. Configuration: . (Paramagnetic).Both statements are correct.
