Concept explainers
Interpretation: The reason why Ni(NH3)4]2+ is paramagnetic, while [Ni(CN)4]2– is diamagnetic is to be explained.
Concept Introduction: The strength of the crystal field can affects the magnetic properties of the complex ions.
Strong field ligands produce large amount of crystal field splitting energy,
Weak field ligands produce small amount of crystal field splitting energy,
