Q.

It is an experimental fact that Cs2CuCl4 is orange coloured but NH42CuCl4 is yellow. It is further known that total paramagnetic moment of an unpaired electron is due to spin as well as due to nature of orbital; d orbital contributing more than s or p. Thus the total paramagnetic moment of orange compound is found to be more than that of yellow compound. Then which of the following is correct?
