Correct answer
D5.92 and 4.90 B.M.
Step-by-step explanation
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{K}_3\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_6\right] \\
& \mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^5 \\
& \mathrm{Fe}^{3+} \text { with } \mathrm{OH}^{-}(\mathrm{WFL}) \\
& =\mathrm{t}_{29}{ }^3 \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}{ }^2
\end{aligned}$
Number of unpaired electron ( )
spin only
$\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{K}_4\left[\mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{OH})_6\right] \\
& \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} \Rightarrow \mathrm{OH}^{-} \mathrm{(WFL)} \\
& \mathrm{Fe}^{2+} \Rightarrow 3 \mathrm{~d}^6=\mathrm{t}_{2 \mathrm{~g}}^4 \mathrm{e}_{\mathrm{g}}^2 \\
& \mathrm{n}=4
\end{aligned}$
