Amongst FeCl3.3H2O, K3FeCN6 and CoNH36Cl3, the spin-only magnetic moment value of the inner-orbital complex that absorbs light at shortest wavelength is B.M. [nearest integer]

Solution

  Complex EC Hybridisation No. of unpaired e-
(i) FeCl3·3H2O Fe3+=3 d5 sp3d2 5
(ii) K3FeCN6 Fe3+=3 d5 d2sp3 1
(iii) CoNH363+ Co3+=3 d6 d2sp3 0

CN- is strong ligand than NH3 so splitting in K3[FeCN6] is higher and it absorb light of shortest wave length
