Explanation

The first three electrons fill the

\({t}_{2g}\) 𝑡2𝑔

Sv6Kpe[] orbitals singly.Sv6Kpe[]Sv6Kpe[]

The next three electrons pair up with the electrons already in the

\({t}_{2g}\) 𝑡2𝑔

Sv6Kpe[] orbitals.
This results in all six electrons occupying the

\({t}_{2g}\) 𝑡2𝑔

Sv6Kpe[] orbitals, and the

✓ Correct answer: a)

\({\mathrm{K}}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}{\left(\mathrm{CN}\right)}_{6}\right]\)

Explanation

\({\mathrm{CN}}^{-}\) is the strongest ligand among all, hence pairing occurs in this case and for the complex \({\mathrm{K}}_{4}\left[\mathrm{Fe}{(\mathrm{CN})}_{6}\right],\mu =0\mathrm{BM}\)
