Q. Predict the magnetic nature of $A$ and $B$.
(a) Both are diamagnetic
(b) A is diamagnetic and B is paramagnetic with one unpaired electron
(c) A is diamagnetic and B is paramagnetic with two unpaired electrons
(d) Both are paramagnetic

Coordination Compounds

Solution:

$A$ is diamagnetic, square planar complex because of strong ligand field of $CN^-. $
