Detailed Solution

Mn2+ with d5configuration form paramagnetic in the presence of both weak and strong field. If can form both high spin and low spin complexes. Similarly Ni2+ with  d8configuration can form both low spin and high spin complexes. Except with very strong ligands such as CN−Co,Ni2+always form tetrahedral complexes with high spin. Aqueous solutions of MnII  almost colourless.
