Ensure you include the spin multiplicity and symmetry label. [8 marks) (ii) For each complex, calculate the effective magnetic moment (per) using the appropriate equation. Make sure you show your working [8 marks] (b) Compare your calculated per values for complexes 1-4 with the measured values given in the table. Account for any differences that arise. [4 marks]
