(b)
Interpretation:
The distribution of electrons in the low spin and high spin complexes of
Concept introduction:
A transition metal cation has no outer s- electrons available for bonding, rather the inner d -electrons (in case of 3d transition metal elements) are available for making coordinate bonds with the ligands. Electrons are distributed in the five d- orbitals according to Hun’s rule which results in a maximum number of unpaired electrons. The abbreviated electronic configuration of an element depicts the electronic configuration of the elements by making use of noble gas configuration as they have fully-filled electron shells.
