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)
