Gia applied magnetic field around $[\text{Fe}(\text{H}_2\text{O})_6]^{2+}$ and $[\text{Fe}(\text{CN})_6]^{4-}$, she found that $[\text{Fe}(\text{H}_2\text{O})_6]^{2+}$ is strongly attracted towards magnet.
Which of the following explains this correctly?
(P) $\text{CN}^-$ is a weak ligand.
(Q) $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ is a weak ligand.
(R) $[\text{Fe}(\text{H}_2\text{O})_6]^{2+}$ is inner orbital complex.
(S) $[\text{Fe}(\text{CN})_6]^{4-}$ is low spin complex.
- (a)Only (S)
- (b)Both (P) and (Q)
- (c)Only (R)
- (d)Both (Q) and (S)
