Question:
Why do compounds having similar geometry have a different magnetic moment?
Solution:
They differ in the number of paired and unpaired electrons. A strong field ligand will cause pairing of electrons while a weak field ligand will not cause pairing. Pairing or not pairing will change the number of unpaired electrons, which affects the magnetic moment.
