    Q 1. (a) Which is expected to be more stable, [Cu(NH3)4]+2 or [Cu(CN)4]3-, briefly explain.

    (b) Cu2+ ion forms a paramagnetic octahedral complex. The complex shows a d-d
    electronic transition at 22,320 cm-1. Draw the d-orbital energy level diagram clearly
    showing electronic arrangement and calculate the crystal field stabilization energy (CFSE)
    in kJmol-1. Also, calculate the spin only magnetic moment of the complex.
