Detailed Solution

[Fe(SCN)6]3 and  [Fe(CN)6]3
In both the cases the electronic configuration ofFe3+   will be 1s2,2s2,2p6,3s2,3p6,3d5 In [Fe(SCN)6]3,S¯CN is a weak field ligand and in [Fe(CN)6]3,C¯N is a strong field ligand, the pairing will occur only in case of  [Fe(CN)6]3
In  [Fe(SCN)6]3

μ=n(n+2)=5(5+2)=35=5.91BM
In  [Fe(CN)6]3,
Question Image
μ=n(n+2)=1(1+2)=3=1.73BM
Difference in spin only magnetic moment =  5.911.73=4.18=4BM
