The following order is observed in the spectrochemical series for the ligands: CN- > NO2- > en > NH3 > H2O > C2O42- > OH- > F- > Cl- > Br- > I- FeF63 and Fe(CN) 63 are both negatively charged coordination complexes. Which statement describes the magnetic properties of the complexes?
A) FeF63 and Fe(CN) 63 are both diamagnetic.
B) FeF63 is diamagnetic while Fe(CN) 63 is paramagnetic.
C) FeF63 is paramagnetic while Fe(CN) 63 is diamagnetic.
D) Both complex ions are paramagnetic, but FeF63 has a larger number of unpaired electrons than Fe(CN) 63 hence its paramagnetism is more pronounced.
E) Both complex ions are paramagnetic, but Fe(CN) 63 has a larger number of unpaired electrons than FeF63 hence its paramagnetism is more pronounced.
