- and
- and
- and
- and
Solution
In both cases iron exhibits oxidation state.
Electronic configuration of ion

In is a weak field ligand and hence, no pairing up.
number of unpaired electron
Spin magnetic moment
In is a strong field ligand and hence, pairing will occur.
number of unpaired electron
spin magnetic moment = zero
