b. (i) With the help of the spin-only formula calculate the magnetic moment (in units of Bohr magnetons) of the two complexes from part 2.a.(iii). Which of these complexes is paramagnetic and which is diamagnetic? (ii) Which of the two complexes in part 2.a.(iii) do you expect to be inert? Explain your answer. (iii) Explain why the and the e orbitals have different energies in an octahedral ligand field.
