Consider a metal ion with the outer electron configuration of d^4. In a coordination complex, the number of unpaired electrons in that metal ion depends on the orientation and type of ligands that surround it. Classify each description of a complex by the number of unpaired electrons in the d^4 metal ion.

    a) square planar, strong field

    d⁴ 0

    b) tetrahedral, strong field

    d⁴ 4

    c) Octahedral, weak field

    d⁴ 4

    d) square planar, weak field

    d⁴ 4
