    For octahedral complex, which of the following \[{{d}^{n}}\] configurations of metal cation cannot exist in high spin and low spin forms?

    A) \[{{d}^{3}}\] and \[{{d}^{8}}\]         

    B) \[{{d}^{3}}\] and \[{{d}^{5}}\]

    C) \[{{d}^{3}}\] and \[{{d}^{6}}\]         

    D) \[{{d}^{4}}\] and \[{{d}^{8}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] In \[{{d}^{3}}\] and \[{{d}^{8}}\] octahedral complexes number of unpaired \[{{e}^{-}}\] s at central metal atom/ion never changes, therefore for such octahedral complexes terms high spin and low spin not used.
