the diamagnetic complexes are
Solution:
For a diamagnetic complex, there should not be any unpaired electron in the valence shell of central metral. In K3[Fe(CN)6], Fe (III) has d5-configuration (odd electrons), hence it is paramagnetic. In [Co( NH3)6]Cl3, Co (III) has d6 configuration in a strong ligand field, hence all the electrons are paired and the complex is diamagnetic. In Na3[Co(ox)3], Co (III) has d6-configuration and oxalate being a chelating ligand, very strong ligand and all the six electrons remains paired in lower t2g level, diamagnetic. In [Ni(H2O)6]Cl2,Ni (II) has 3d8-configuration and H2O is a weak ligand hence

In K2[Pt(CN)4], Pt (II) has d8-configuration and CN−is a strong ligand, hence all the eight electrons are spin-paired. Therefore, complex is diamagnetic.
In [Zn(H2O)6](NO3)2,Zn (II) has 3 d10 configuration spin paired, hence diamagnetic.

In K2[Pt(CN)4], Pt (II) has d8-configuration and CN−is a strong ligand, hence all the eight electrons are spin-paired. Therefore, complex is diamagnetic.
In [Zn(H2O)6](NO3)2,Zn (II) has 3 d10 configuration spin paired, hence diamagnetic.
