The magnetic properties of a complex depends on the number of unpaired electrons
Na+
Mn2+
Ti2+
Co3+
Experiment shows: [Co(CN)6]3– has no unpaired electrons [CoF6]3– has four unpaired electrons

WHY do they have different numbers of unpaired electrons?
Presence of ligand electrons raises energy of metal d orbitals due to electrostatic repulsion
CRYSTAL FIELD THEORY can be used to explain this result.
