Why Is [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2 Paramagnetic But [Co(NH3)6]Cl3 Is Diamagnetic ?

In case of [Ni(NH3)6]Cl2 complex, the oxidation state of nickel atom is +2 .The atomic number of nickel atom, 28 and that of Ni(II)ion is 26 . Valence shell electronic configuration of Ni(II) ion is [ Ar ] d8 . Coordination number of central metal Ni(II)ion...

Why is[FeF6]3- ion paramagnetic while [Fe(CN)6]4-ion diamagnetic?

In case of [FeF6]3–complex ion, the oxidation state of central iron metal is +3. The atomic number of iron metal : 26 and that of ion(III)ion : 23. Valence shell electronic configuration of Fe(III) ion : [ Ar ] d5. Co-ordination number of central metal ...
