    1. Transition metal complexes can exist in high or low spin states depending on the strength of the ligand field. Strong field ligands like CN- favor low spin states with electrons pairing up. 2. The table lists common transition metal ions and their spin states based on the number of d electrons. 3. Parts a-i describe the electron configurations and spin states of various transition metal complexes based on the number of d electrons, strength of the ligand field, and coordination geometry.
