Treat as a strong-field ligand (low spin) and use the spin-only formula. Which statements about and are correct?

  1. A gives 4 ions per formula unit and its anion has BM.
  2. B gives 5 ions per formula unit and its anion is diamagnetic.
  3. CAt equal molar concentration, has a higher molar conductivity than (ideal dissociation).
  4. DThe anion of has two unpaired electrons.

Answer: A, B, C

: plus one anion gives 4 ions, Fe(III) low spin has , 1 unpaired, BM. : 5 ions, Fe(II) low spin has 0 unpaired electrons. More ions mean higher conductivity, so the first three are correct and the fourth is wrong.
