Answer:

SCN- is a weak field ligand while CN- is a strong field ligand

Explanation:

The spectrochemical series is an arrangement of ligands according to their magnitude of crystal field splitting. Ligands that cause only a small degree of crystal field splitting are called weak field ligands while ligands that cause large crystal field splitting are called strong field ligands.

Strong field ligands often lead to the formation of low spin complexes with the least number of unpaired electrons while high spin complexes are formed by weak field ligands.

CN- is a strong field ligand as it lies towards the right hand side of the spectrochemical series.

SCN- is a weak field ligand hence it forms a high spin complex having the maximum number of unpaired electrons for Fe^3+, hence the answer.

Explain the working principle of a clinical thermometer ​
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

A clinical thermometer is a thermometer used to measure human body temperature. Most made in the 20th century are mercury-in-glass thermometers. They are accurate and sensitive, having a narrow place where the mercury level rises very fast. A kink in the tube stops the mercury level from falling on its own.
