Draw an orbital energy-level diagram (like those in Figs. 9D.3 and 9D.5) showing the configuration of d-electrons

Question:

Draw an orbital energy-level diagram (like those in Figs. 9D.3 and 9D.5) showing the configuration of d-electrons on the metal ion in each of the following complexes: 

(a) [Co(NH3)6]3+

(b) [NiCl4]2– (tetrahedral); 

(c) [Fe(OH2)6]3+

(d) [Fe(CN)6]3

Predict the number of unpaired electrons for each complex.
