Question
Answer in brief.
What are the high-spin and low-spin complexes?
Solution
i. High-spin complexes: When crystal field splitting energy is smaller than electron pairing energy, the complexes formed are high-spin complexes.
ii. Low-spin complexes: When crystal field splitting energy is greater than electron pairing energy, the complexes formed are low-spin complexes.
