Consider the following low-spin complexes

\({K}_{3}\left[Co{\left(N{O}_{2}\right)}_{6}\right],{K}_{4}\left[Fe(CN{)}_{6}\right],\) \({K}_{3}\left[Fe(CN{)}_{6}\right],C{u}_{2}\left[Fe(CN{)}_{6}\right]\) and \(Z{n}_{2}\left[Fe(CN{)}_{6}\right].\)

✓ Correct answer: d)

Explanation

The complexes having yellow colour are:

K₃[Co(NO₂)₆] and K₄[Fe(CN)₆]

Now, calculate spin-only magnetic moment using number of unpaired electrons (n):

[Co(NO₂)₆]³⁻ → Co³⁺ = d⁶, strong field ligand ⇒ low spin ⇒ n = 0 ⇒ μ = 0

[Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ → Fe²⁺ = d⁶, strong field ligand ⇒ low spin ⇒ n = 0 ⇒ μ = 0

Thus, total magnetic moment = 0 + 0 = 0 B.M.

Final Answer: 0
