Consider the following complex ions, P, Q and R.
The correct order of the complex ions, according to their spin-only magnetic moment values (in B.M.) is
F- and H2O are weak field ligands so pairing of electrons in metal cations 3d subshell will not take place.
now we have to cosider hybridization that is given in following diagram.
​
μP=√n(n+2) n=5 =√5×7=√35BM
μQ=√n(n+2) n=3 =√3×5=√15BM
μR=√n(n+2) n=4 =√4×6=√24BM
μQ<μR<μP
Q < R < P
