[Cr(NH3)6]3+ is paramagnetic while [Ni(CN)4]2– is diamagnetic. Explain why.

[Cr(NH3)6]3+ is an inner orbital octahedral complex. Since CN- is strong field ligand, hence the electrons in 3d orbitais are forced to pair up and there is no unpaired electron in [Ni(CN)4]2 , hence it should be diamagnetic substance.
