• 2) low spin
• 3) high spin
• 4) high spin
• 5) high spin

What is a high spin complex ion?

This is the complex ion that has more number of unpaired electrons in the d-orbitals of the central atom. This ions is known to be paramagnetic.

What is a low spin complex ion?

This is the complex that is known to have paired electron at low levels of energy.
