Magnetic moment of [MnC14​]2− is 5.9 BM.

Mn is in +2 oxidation state having configuration of [Ar]3d5. It has 5 unpaired electrons.

μ=n(n+2)​

      =(5(5+2)​

     =5.9BM

Magnetic moment of [CoC14​]2− is 3.9 BM.

Co is in +2 oxidation state having configuration of [Ar]3d7. It has 3 unpaired electrons.

μ=n(n+2)​

 =(3(3+2)​

   =3.9BM

Magnetic moment of [FeCN4]2− is 0.0 BM.

Fe is in +2 oxidation state having configuration of [Ar]3d6. In this complex CN ion is a strong ligand and all electrons are paired and there are no unpaired electrons.

μ=n(n+2)​

 =0(0+2)​

 =0BM

The decreasing order of the magnetic moments is:

[MnCl4​]−2>[CoCl4​]2−>Fe(CN)6​]4−
