Solution and Explanation

The correct answer is 1:1
Spin only magnet magnetic for \([Cr(CN)_6]^{-3} (d^3)\) \(= \sqrt{15}\) B.M.
For \([Cr(H_2O)_6]^{+3} (d^3) = \sqrt{15}\) B.M.
\(\therefore \) the ratio is 1:1

Concepts Used:

Coordination Compounds

A coordination compound holds a central metal atom or ion surrounded by various oppositely charged ions or neutral molecules. These molecules or ions are re-bonded to the metal atom or ion by a coordinate bond.

Coordination entity:

A coordination entity composes of a central metal atom or ion bonded to a fixed number of ions or molecules.

Ligands:

A molecule, ion, or group which is bonded to the metal atom or ion in a complex or coordination compound by a coordinate bond is commonly called a ligand. It may be either neutral, positively, or negatively charged.
